Hi there,
I just joint this 'club' and noticed your battle with the LAN card. I know it is an old posting, but it might still help some people out there.
The simplest solution I found with new 'windows' machines, Linux and LAN problems is to turn of the "Auto plug and play" and the "Auto virus protect" in the BIOS setup (press Del on start-up).
Worked fine for my last 2 new PC's - no more LAN problems in Linux
Cheers
