Hi guys,

I think narrowed it down: If I connected my Mini through my ancient D-Link DE-809TC Hub (10 MBit, even has BNC) to my ZyXEL DSL Router, Net speed was abysmally slow and unreliable. If I wire the Mini directly to the DSL router, everything is fine.

So my best guess for the root cause would be something low-level speed negotiation-related in the innards of the Ethernet driver...

Mini: 1.5GHz model. Under OS X, everything is fine with either net connection.

Cheers!
