This sounds like the same problem I have been reporting to jlemon with = his version of the driver. Same type of motherboard/chipset/issue. A plain = old PCI version of the nic is just fine in the same box with the same = drivers. I am guessing that the problem is somehow related to flow control in the IBM switch I am using as the problem does not seem to be there when the card is in my compaq switch.
