 Just wanted to submit my experience here.  I've got a Tyan Tiger MP dual =
 proc motherboard with an Intel 82557/8/9 EtherExpress Pro/100(B) card =
 (this is a dual-port 10/100 card, with the dual-port daughter-card added =
 to make it a 4-port card).  I experience similar problems as reported by =
 other users when I try to do any real i/o (not specific to any type of =
 traffic), although I can ping to my heart's content with excellent =
 response times.  I'm running a fresh 5.1-release install with the =
 GENERIC kernel (so SMP is not yet enabled).  I don't know what to revert =
 to since I've noticed people posting similar problems in 4.x.  I'll be =
 glad to provide more detail upon request.
