I am using a RTK 8139 at 10MB and the porblem is not the performance
itself. It is that the kernel gives DMA probelms and disconnects the
card for some time, making network operation intermittent. It usually
happens when network loard is high )even if not directed to the
computer, just network load...). It is tedious.
