Hi all,

I just got a new computer up and running on my 'wulf-to-be. But I'm getting the errors below in the /var/log/messages file plus the connection is real slow. :( The network card is a realtec RTL8009, which is a NE2000 clone.

Can anyone tell me what this is and what (if anything) to do about it?
