[Jonathan k. Creasy]

I have had similar experience with an Intel NIC that had DELL's name on
it vs a 3COM 3C905b.

I haven't had similiar experience, but in several threads about sound

particular, a few people have commented all sorts of problems on
onboard NIC's, since they tend to be of lesser quality than
stand-alone NICS.
