Macronix MX98715 NIC slow and dropping out

Background:
- Windows 2000 Pro computers only
- 100Mbps link
- computers connected via 100 Mbps switch
- driver loaded came with card (Skymaster OEM brand)

Symptoms:
- File transfer across LAN slow (< 1MB/sec)
- after 40MB of sustained solid transfer (e.g. large MPG or 100MB of MP3s) Windows reported the "lanman" error and transfer was halted.

Solution:
- downloaded generic chipset driver from: here (must log in)
- updated driver - no reboot

Outcome:
- network file transfers occur at 7-9MB/s
- no drop outs
