Hello:
Are you running the latest BIOS version? Check this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=771174 . A poster there
said that network problems went away after updating the BIOS to
version 0210. Also there are some vague reports of network problems
in the newegg.com reviews for this board. One user says that the
problems can be solved by "manually compiling drivers from Realtek".
I hope that you can solve the problem and would appreciate if you
shared your results.
Jaime
