Bug#260755: Forcedeth Ethernet Device Very Slow

[Daniel Burton <dan@spaz.org>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.7-1-k7
Version: 2.6.7-2
Severity: normal

I'm using an NVidia Nforce ethernet device with the forcedeth module, 
and on this kernel version, it for some reason has a very slow data 
transfer rate.  I have a 100Mbps cable, that works at that speed on all 
previous kernel versions, but somehow the connection runs at around 
56K/second on this version and records a bunch of transmit and receive 
errors.
