well i had one card at full speed, but then i added a second indentical card to the machine, and both run at half now... even when i take down one interface
What are the two cards? What Kernel you running? Post the contents of /proc/pci , /proc/interrupts & /proc/ioports maybe it'll give someone a hint. The other thing you might want to try doing is reading up on the code for you NIC and seeing how to force full-duplex, the driver may just default to half-duplex if more than 1 card is present for some strange reason (maybe just to confuse people!! )
