Darn. The same PROBLEMS, not the same errors. Indeed, the errors are not there. But the behaviour is still the same, i.e. slow speeds after a while.. :/
But it's not as bad as it got a few minutes ago when I tested the driver from scyld.com.. It totally trashed my NIC.. A shame though, since it ran perfectly until it totally died.. I wan't a combination of those drivers.. ;)

Woohoo. Ehm. Nah. ;)
