 at 10megs. Are you sure the card isn't autoconfiguring for full duplex or
 something like that, killing other packets on the lan ?

I have a rtl8139 pci card in my mailserver on a cisco catalyst 2900. I
have to set the fullduplex on the rtl8139 by hand, because it never
did it right with autonegotiation.

The 8139 have known problems trying to autonegotiate with *SOME*
hubs.  If you force the meida type, however, they work.

 wonderfully well on my works 100 meg switched network, at home I have a 10 meg
 hub (can't afford a 100 meg switch yet) and it also works great for downloading
 off the net nat'ed off my adsl connection. Though copying internally to any of
 my windows / freebsd or linux machines I am lucky to acheive 4k/sec and the
 connections normally time out. All of the other machines on my network can do
 700+ k/sec in between each other. I can only think it would be the driver that
 causes these problems, either that or it is not auto detecting the type of
 network that it is on in some way. Using win2k on same laptop I get normal
 speeds copying internally.
 
 I am using 4.3 RC
 
 If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I will probably end up trashing
 this machine anyways as my pcmcia DVD-ROM  usb floppy drive both stopped
 working after I cvsup'ed to 4.2-STABLE  haven't worked since.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Mark
