That's a good idea, I hadn't even considered hardware problems.  If this 
doesn't fix it I might try to fiddle with the hardware.

I don't know any more what type of cards I've got!  They were $10 
network cards from Fry's!  I think they'reLinksys 10/100 Network 
Everywhere cards, but I'm not sure. I think it uses the eepro100 
driver.  The other driver I have is natsemi, which I think is for the 
Netgear card I have.
