My usual fist sentence is: what about irq configuration? Do you see any interrupt sharing when "cat /proc/interrupts"?

Sorry man, no clue. But you know what? I am experiencing exactly the same thing in WindowsXP - Linux works fine (dual boot installation).
As a workaround I was planning to install an additional network card and see if that solves the problem.
