I have almost the exact configuration.  I get a transmission timeout too, 
but it doesn't slow down ping and ftp (or have any other effect).  However, 
when my routes out to the Internet are down everything gets real slow.  I 
have always figured this was because the daemons could not do reverse 
lookups properly.  Try ping with the -n option which (I think) tells it to 
do numeric output only and no reverse lookup.  Not really my area, but the 
transmission timeout doesn't seem to be a problem.

Subject:	de0 - Spoke too Soon....

I spoke too soon about my de0 working.  I am running a Pent Pro 200 with 64 
meg and 2.2.2 FreeBSD.  I had problems making by linksys 100BaseTX card 
work as 10BaseT.  I fixed that (with the help of this list) by doing an 
"ifconfig de0 -link2" to turn 10BaseT on.

Now my problem is no matter what I do I get a "de0:  transmission timeout"

I can ping it ok, but I can't ping or ftp or anything off of the machine. 
  An ifconfig -a looks like:

de0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
              Inet 192.168.1.5 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
              Ether 00:40:05:36:b4:bf.

On startup the Kernel messages are:

de0 <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> rev 34 int a irq 11 on pci0:13
de0: 21140A p10-100Mb/s] pass 2.2
de0: address 00:40:05:36:b4:bf
de0: enabling 100baseTX port

Any More Ideas?

Thanks...

Jim...
