Since the only difference between your U5 and mine is that your physical hardware is not mine (meaning maybe you have memory errors, or cpu/fpu is too hot and is producing problems) and you are behind a firewire, I'd go with one of those problems. Of course I means a firewall. -- Debian

Have you checked the duplex settings on the card? I saw similar things with my Ultra 5's connecting to Cisco switches because autonegotiation wasn't working properly, and the U5's were setting themselves to half-duplex. If I pushed enough traffic across the line when the duplexes didn't

fwiw, i haven't had any lockups, but ssh'ing from my 270mhz ultra5, it takes much longer for the passwd prompt to appear than it does from even an old 166mhz pentium. Same here, my Debian Ultra 60 has the slowest ssh-login on all the machines I can login to. I've had a look at the logfiles and

It looks to me like you are ssh'ing from behind a firewall (using ipv4) that has a very short timeout for tcp connections. does this happen between local machines as well??? If this is the case than it is not related to which ethernet card you use or which protocol... but just to the firewall
