P4S800D and Linux

[Guest]

I have a computer with the ASUS P4S800D motherboard where I installed
SuSe Linux 9.1
When it had Windows, everything was alright when copying files in the
intranet. After installing Linux the speeds dropped to +-50KB/s which is
too low for a 100mbit Lan.
Anyone getting this kind of problems with this motherboard? SuSe
installed the card using the Sis900 driver.

Thanks.

When running http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/ (running from CD/RAM, don't
have any Linux installed on my HDD) the Marvell network adapter on my
P4S800D-E Deluxe was recognized and configured automatically. Did some
Internet downloads but did not notice any degradation of throughput compared
to WinXP which I'm normally running.
