I've a little now that I've had to play with a few machines (one has 4
ethernet cards and 1 radio card!)

Well I've got this problem solved now.  It seems that the switch port I
was testing on was stuffed.  Moving to another one I get wonderful
performance. On a 100Mb/s port I can get it working at both half and full
duplex, with ftp transfers of 3.8 MB/s (which translates to about 30Mb/s,
the other machine for the ftp is only on half duplex) on a 100 MB file
which is excellent!  The other card is still happy at 10Mb/s. And it's all
autodetect too, no options needed.
