That's really unfriendly.  I've never seen that behavior.  This is the
same card as on the Dell?

I'll note that Intel has 32-bit and 64-bit variants of their cards.
And both fiber and copper version.  I've had pretty good luck with
the 64-bit PCI-X copper variants (82544, 82545, and 82546) on XScale
systems.  I haven't used them much elsewhere, and haven't used the
82547 at all.
