network lan

[shitan]

Hey,

I am getting frustrated by my lan problems, so I'd be willing to hear whatever crazy solutions you guys have.

I have a A8N32-Sli deluxe, with 2 lan ports, one which is Marvell Yukon, and the other nforce.

The marvell yukon works, but is incredibly slow and has uber large number of packet drops - it's a weird problem, but I am not the only one having them (even some legit iMac users have had these problems since leo came out)
The *fucking* nforce randomly freezes the computer - it's much better since 10.5.2, but not perfect.
I also happen to have a WUSBG54G(rev 4) - ie. a linksys usb wireless device, somehow supposed to be supported by 10.5.2, but not.

In other words: I am getting crazy? Should i just get a fucking new network card (though I find it ridiculous that I am not able to make work one of the 3 internet devices i have...)

Thats what I ended up doing, bought a realtek 8169 from ebay, advertised as supporting osx.
Not had a problem since £7 most I've ever paid for a lan card but worth every penny

If you're in Europe, you can buy a generic Realtek 8139 from Pixmania for less than 4 euros. It works (I bought one)...

Just go buy a Realtek as I have suggested to others. Interestingly I had 4 spare dedicated Realtek ethernet cards, and was all four worked on the same system. =) Worth it very much!

Marvell Yukon and nForce are working without problems with internet, but on networking nForce crashes at large files. Marvell does this, but needs about 25 min for an 8,5 GB-Image.
