Hm, interesting. I noticed that the auto-negotiation between the switch
and the Broadcom NIC leaded to 100mbit, half-duplex. That's why i forced the
Broadcom NIC to 100mbit, full-duplex.

If you force settings ensure you force both ends or your almost

My switch is stupid one, so i can manage only the NIC end.

If thats the case your switch is likely to be running at
HD while you've set the NIC to FD hence the problem.
Both auto or both hardcoded otherwise badness.

Thanks for the advice!
I've retuned back the Broadcom NIC to autoselect mode and now the
transfer speed is 7-8MBps which is very great improvement compared to 200kBps.
The registered D-Link speed, of 10Mbps, is still ahead but now the
things look different.
