I currently have a Sharp pc ax20 laptop with an inbuilt rtl8139 nic. It works wonderfully well on my works 100 meg switched network, at home I have a 10 meg hub (can't afford a 100 meg switch yet) and it also works great for downloading off the net nat'ed off my adsl connection. Though copying internally to any of my windows / freebsd or linux machines I am lucky to acheive 4k/sec and the connections normally time out. All of the other machines on my network can do 700+ k/sec in between each other. I can only think it would be the driver that causes these problems, either that or it is not auto detecting the type of network that it is on in some way. Using win2k on same laptop I get normal speeds copying internally. I am using 4.3 RC If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I will probably end up trashing this machine anyways as my pcmcia DVD-ROM & usb floppy drive both stopped working after I cvsup'ed to 4.2-STABLE & haven't worked since.
