Scp's between the guest and host only manage about 5KB/s so I tried going back to le which worked great. I configured a new kernel with "disable pcn*" but on next boot I had no nics at all, so i tried again "disable pci*" also since I think le is isa, but it still didn't work.
That's strange that pcn is giving you worse performance than le. I've had performance problems under VMware (ESX 2.x) where the host's NIC is hard-set speed and duplex, and the guest winds up with a ton of collisions, and setting the duplex in the guest doesn't make a difference. Maybe that's the case here?
You could always try using vmxnet/vic.
