How are you doing the test with the Linux router? Are you using a server
behind it? Are you connecting the private interface at all? Please make
sure the private end is disconnected and try again if it was connected.
If the private end was disconnected, run tcpdump on the public interface and
post the results here. You can email me directly if the results are a file
too large to post on a mailing list.

That's not surprising. It's hard enough to get most ISPs to do anything when
you can tell them exactly what's wrong. If Apple is supported, call again
and open a new ticket. Tell them you have tried two Macintoshes (make the
LEAF results Apple results).

Can you post the results of ifconfig after some packet loss? Also, if you
could post an ASCII map of your network that might tell us something. IPs
are not necessary but it wouldn't hurt to double-check all these settings on
your own. (This has bit me a few times with all sorts of strange results).
E.g.,
--------------
| DSL router | - IP x.y.z.a
--------------
|
-------------- - eth0 x.y.z.b
| LEAF |
-------------- - eth1 a.b.c.z
|
------------------
|xxxxxSWITCHxxxxx| - 16 port linksys (or whatever)
------------------
