That's something I'd like to know, too.  It seems to happen
with all PCMCIA cards, not only NICs.  It's a bit annoying
to have to wait 10 seconds just to read a picture from my
camera's CompactFlash.

Well, the speed changes on the area of the disk.  On the
outer cylinders, a disk is much faster than on the inside.
So it depends very much where the data gets written.
