1. Get more information.
- dmesg output?
- hardware info about the NIC?
- ethtool or mii-tool info?
- /proc/interrupts investigation

2. Change variables one at a time, noting any changed behavior
- can you swap the cable?
- can you test a different NIC, or a different computer
  entirely?
- can you connect the same NIC to something other than the
  netgear?
