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.
