Thanks, but networking throughput/latency itself is not the issue. I
work in a university - FU Berlin - with its own NetBSD FTP mirror in the
campus intranet (which works fine when I access it from other
computers).

So I will follow Jeff's suggestion of a driver/hardware problem with the
NIC (which btw. works flawlessly and at high speeds in my Linux laptop)
and experiment with other PCMCIA cards...
