I have tried a 3com 905 in place of the Realtek, and I can get speeds of
about 3.5Mb/sec (that's still no 7.9 like I used to get). It does, however,
give a few tx underrun errors at the beginning of large transfers:

xl0: transmission error: 90
xl0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 120 bytes
xl0: transmission error: 90
xl0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 180 bytes
xl0: transmission error: 90
xl0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 240 bytes
xl0: transmission error: 90
xl0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 300 bytes

It should also be noted that at the beginning of this whole ordeal, I was
getting speeds approximately 1/10th of what I used to get with my Realtek
card. A few days ago, I removed the network cables so that I could play
halflife (still havent figured out howto use NAT for this), and when I
reconnected them as per normal, I've been getting 1/100th the speed! (about
80KB/sec). I bought a new cable today thinking that that was the whole
problem, which it is not; the problem still exists.

Anyways, the main point of this message is that I also just discovered that
I can't use my floppy drive for some reason, which I find quite odd. Also,
there are many kernel messages about devices not being configured and such.

=============================================
I disabled my USB controller to see if that would help, which it did not.
The USB controller doesn't work in DP2 anyways. _All_ of my hardware did
work just fine, with this same setup, in 4.7-STABLE. Are there any ideas out
there on which driver/otherwise that is at fault?
