You "need" to replace the 3c590 with a Digital DC2104x-based adapter
(SMC Etherpower PCI, Kingston, D-Link, not Compex), or you can try
the new 'vx' driver that's been discussed on -hackers recently.

(I'm not sure what makes you think that a '590 is the only card you can
 use to sustain that sort of throughput; you could do it with an NE2000...)
