Hello,
I have two ethernet cards, an ISA NE2000+ and a PCI RealTek 8029 (NE2000
compatible).  I'm running 1.4.1, and am connected via RoadRunner (i.e.
configured by dhcp).  I'm getting intermittent problems with either
one--basically some web and ftp sites will be extremely slow (like, 100
bytes a second) while others will load just fine.  For example, from
ftp.eecs.umich.edu I can get a transfer rate of about 80k/s, while
ftp.gnu.org frequently stalls out while downloading anything (if I can
get that far--it takes about ten minutes just to display the motd).  Also,
the POP server and news server which I usually use are on the same subnet,
but fetchmail takes something like five minutes to download three
messages, then times out, while I can read newsgroups just fine.  I know
this is a problem with my NetBSD setup and not with RoadRunner because
when I reboot the machine into FreeBSD everything works just fine.

I included the relevant output from dmesg and ifconfig below.  Does
anyone have any idea what's going wrong?
