Hi Donny,

Sorry to hear you are having problems.  This most likely is not a NIC/driver 
issue.  Something is mostly not configured correctly on these systems.  Did you 
use ethtool to look at the HW stats of the interfaces you are trying to ping 
out of?  If not, please do so.  Also, are each port/interface on a different 
subnet?  The stack does not do well (without extra configuration) with multiple 
ports on the same subnet.

The reason Debian Squeeze doesn't have support is that they didn't pick up an 
updated driver before they released it.  This is not a problem with the Intel 
drivers, it's a timing thing for Debian releases and how they update kernels 
and drivers.

Cheers,
John
