Most likely, you're experiencing an interrupt problem, so packets come in, but the OS isn't being properly notified of the event, and only checks as a result of an unrelated event, so they trickle in. I.e., it could be a pccard bus configuration problem. You may want to send the output of "dmesg -v", which can be extracted most easily using a serial console if the installation isn't able to complete. Robert N M Watson
