What units are you using? Mo/sec is not one I'm familiar with. Also,
what kind of transfers are you doing? You could be looking at an
application issue rather than a driver/NIC issue.

Hmmm. 3Com with a cyclone chipset. Is it a new card? Hate to say it, but
the 3Com name doesn't inspire the same warm-n-fuzzies it used to... At
least we know the driver is sound. At this point I think it's time to
ask if you have any other cards you could try?
