Is it possible Dell re-enables it somehow in the BIOS ? Perhaps your
version of the NIC needs it disabled a different way ? Also I found I
needed to physically power off some of the machines for the change to take
effect and also the problem was MUCH more acute at 10baseT than
100BaseTX. I think jlemon said it was in both modes, but I only ever saw
the problem at 10baseT and like you saw, it didnt take much to force the issue.
