What do you exactly mean with this? If the LAN is really work, it's highly 
unprobably
that your network card or the kernel  is at fault. It's much more likely that 
the problem is 
caused by a configuration error either on your computer or somewhere in the LAN.

How did you come to this conclusion? Is there any sign of pacet loss on your 
interface?

With the information you give it's not really easy to help you.

Please follow one of the network troubleshooting howtos on the net. For example:
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch04_:_Simple_Network_Troubleshooting

If you can provide more detailed information about what's working and what's not
it will be much easier to help you.
