> Scenario: first card is running under 4.4-Stable in an Athalon 880 box, > pretty much plain jane.

Initial bootup sets the > card up as "none" for media select. I see terrible thruput to either > box. If I set media to 10BaseT/UTP, speed goes up drasticaly, but I see > tons and tons of collisions.
