Just an FYI, but when dealing with issues on network cards one
should make certain that the switch or hub and the card agree on speed,
and if autonegotiation is enabled on both sides there's often problems
because with ethernet there's no real agreed-upon protocol for establishing
that autonegotiation.
So, if you've a hub set the card for whatever speed and
half-duplex. Hubs require half-duplex for the collission handshaking
mechanism of ethernet to work. If a switch, set the card to whatever
speed and full duplex. If you can set the switch port to the same
speed that is, of course, the best solution.
