Sounds to me like your problem is an interrupt conflict between your video
card and your ethernet card.  If switching slots doesn't help, try running
off of internal video, if that's possible.  It may be that if you take a
look at the video-interrupt howto on puma, you'll be able to help someone
fix the problems with this card (http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/howto/)

I hope this helps some.

Later.
