The board I am using is a Tyan Trinity 400 S1854. When I upgraded to 4.2-BETA from 4.1.1-STABLE about a week or so ago, my dc0 linksys card worked at 100Mbps only on the local network, and it skipped every 4th packet. Also, I would also like to bring up another problem. I have cable internet. I download from the net at around 50k/sec. However, any data being transferred from or to me on my local network averages about 5-10K/sec (very slow). Just thought i'd also mention that. Any more thoughts?
