I have this motherboard for 1 month, as seen here:

Unlike my other ethernet controllers, this one is BUILT INTO THE
MOTHERBOARD....but it can't cope with large, prolonged downloads.
Gon't get me wrong. ..it can download and download for hours at top
speed.
But, once you open a full blown, full speed download for several
hours, and then, try browsing the internet in the meantime, just doing
reading, opening up hotmail, yahoo, ebay, and so it ...it begins
crawling, slowly like a slug for the browsing, although the other
download stays at full speed.
I think it's just not a very powerful, robust ethernet chip.
I will be putting inside a DFE-540 tx+ from D-LINK ASAP, to take over
from the built-in one, and will be disabling it.
It shows up as a VIA RHINE II 100 Mbis nic.
