Basically if I have an RTL8139 (Dlink DFE-583Tx) set up as a bridge, it 
has HUGE latencies (e.g. 2500ms on a cross-connected interface!) this 
problem doesn't show up when the card is used as a plain-vanilla 
non-bridge. The problem exists with both "rtl8139" and "8139too" drivers 
(I'm using the latest). I'm using kernel 2.4.20pre9 with leynert's 
bridge-nf-0.07 patch.
