What link speed is the card using, and what kind of hub do you have
it plugged into? I've heard others mention that automagic link speed
detection often doesn't work on the vx driver. You may need to set
the speed using the DOS setup program if this is the problem. (I
think the dmesg output will tell you what speed the driver is trying
to use.)
