I got same issue two days ago on PCI-X Fiber 1000BASE-SX D-Link Adapter
DGE-550SX/dl2k driver (I report it yesterday). This card work fine in
old DEC Alphaserver 800/Fedora Core 5/kernel 2.6.17. We use it for our
internet connections, which is limited to approx. 50 Mb/sec by ISP,
then I think there should be no bottleneck in LAN card.
We just tried install new i386 based router (Core2Duo E8500/4GB RAM/
4x Realtek 8111C and this D-Link from old Alphaserver, on Fedora 10,
kernel 2.6.27.5). Router is connected to several gigabit backbones
over other ois gigabit cards, then I'm not sure when any crapped internal
machines could overload this DGE-550SX. Card in new router stop working
after several secs/minutes - packed transmitting freeze (what is
interesting, in one case after it sent exactly 8192 packets, and other
cases are some multiples of 8 too) and stop transmit packets.
Only workaround (but for a while) is rmmod + modprobe its dl2k driver.
