We're not using any of the other listed services, but we are using both FTP and WWW, and both show decreased performance. (However, the latter may be a configuration issue, so it may be irrelevant.) >The pre-4.3 boxes are all using RTL8029 cards, and the 4.3+ > boxes are all Intel 8255x-based cards.

Hmm, I can hard-code and see what happens. I did mess with the autonegotiation stuff initially, and it didn't seem to make any difference. I will try again.
