A friend of mine (that does not typically use linux) was trying to get a
Myth-box together on another nForce chipset and was complaining of the same
problem. I ran out of ideas pretty quickly but he discovered that if he
disabled the firewalling features of his broadband router, the network speed
would go back to normal. (I'm not sure what his ultimate solution was.)
If you are behind a router, try plugging directly into your ISP. Maybe you
will find another piece of the puzzle.
