I help anyway I can!  =)  I am going to be installing 2.2.6-Release soon
and I will be CERTAINLY paid back 100 times by SOMEONE on here I am sure.

Ok then....next...is it possible that one of the interfaces are
half-duplex and one is full-duplex?  That can cause REAL trouble if you
put a full-duplex interface on a shared ethernet segment....NASTY things
happen...  Although you probably wouldn't drop all the packets but you
COULD drop a LOT of them...

I've done it.  =(
