Hi
I haven't noticed this problem on my system...
I have an 82558 that uses this driver on a Tyan S1836DLUAN motherboard. I have Dual PIIIs and the system is multi homed. I have a 2nd interface that uses the NE2000 PCI driver.
The system is my workstation but also acts as an internet gateway (via cable modem) and firewall for 2 other computers. My workstation is on 24/7 and has never hungup.
I am currently using 2.4.10 for the kernel but I've used most kenels since the 2.4.0testX days.
In your tests, is the 80 - 130 megs a single file or is it an aggregate. In my use I far exceed the amount of data but it's web surfing so the files are much smaller the what you mention.
