The board I am using is a Tyan Trinity 400 S1854.

When I upgraded to 4.2-BETA from 4.1.1-STABLE about a week or so ago, my dc0
linksys card worked at 100Mbps only on the local network, and it skipped
every 4th packet.

Also, I would also like to bring up another problem.  I have cable internet.
I download from the net at around 50k/sec.  However, any data being
transferred from or to me on my local network averages about 5-10K/sec (very
slow).

Just thought i'd also mention that.
Any more thoughts?
David Hill
