Joshua,
Looking at the 2.6.16.1 kernel, I see there are 2 drivers for the 8139
network card.
8139too
8139cp
By default, LTSP is using the 8139too driver.
You could force it to use the 8139cp driver by setting 'NIC=8139cp' on
the kernel command line.
The method for passing kernel cmdline parameters varies, depending on
whether you are using PXE or Etherboot. There's information on that on
our wiki at:
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/KernelOptions
See if using 8139cp changes anything.
