Some 100baseTX eth cards don't do 100baseTX,
full-duplex very well. I think it has something to do
with the card's processor, or maybe the buffer, i
forget. The point is, if you ARE doing 100baseTX,
full-duplex, try putting it down to half-duplex, and
see if that helps. It worked for me :)

P.S. It's strange, I thought there wouldn't be any
problem with Intel's cards, but coming from the people
who made the P2/3, i guess i shouldn't be surprized :P
