I have seen very high (80%) packet loss in a Gateway 2000 P5-75 using the SMC 9332 card at 100bTx. SMC tell me it is likely that the Gateway's PCI bus is not up to specification. Gateway have yet to comment on this. Has anyone else seen this behaviour with this card - does it arise with all cards based on the 21140 chip? Mark p.s. I should say the 9332 card works perfectly at 10Mb/s and Matt's de driver is not to blame because packets sent by D*S drivers are also corrupted.
