I had static ips on the device already. To announce it in the network I did: arp -s 10.10.10.73 00:0e:ed:bf:28:1 on the server (bridge) and test desktop. But it did not improve things: around 90% packet loss still. As for the long transfer, no success either: tried to download an iso image, but it did not get past the bridge :( What I fail to find is what is different for this device, because it works perfectly with the other cards / OS's I tried.
