I had the same kind of problems on my Libretto 70CT and a 3Com 3CCFE574BT. After the installation (5.1 and 4.9) over SLIP, the NIC kept giving me extremely low throughput. I did a little testing: Pinging from the libretto to another system, both running tcpdump, would give normal results on the other system (1 ICMP request arriving every second, 1 reply being send back). On the Libretto however, the replies would not show up in the tcpdump trace for a long time, sometimes over 60 seconds, after which I would see a "burst" of replies in a few seconds, but a lot of them never showed up at all. So it looks like the problem was in the receive side of the NIC/driver. The hardware is fine btw; the Linux driver has no problems with this configuration.
