Yeah, I knew they were both slow, but at least one is acceptable, the <200KB/s is below usable when doing any network based work. > Moreover, I'm getting 9+MB/s in both directions when using the other > driver (xircom_tulip_cb), patched to do half-duplex only.

OK, I tried your patch, it did fix the problem where pump wouldn't pull an IP address, but I'm still having the problem where my ping times go nuts. I've attached an example, it's 100% repeatable on my network at work. It was so bad I couldn't get any benchmark numbers.
