DLink Problems

				Hi!

We've got two Dlink DFE 500Tx equiped boxes here, one linux one win95.
The Problem is that we can't get a transfer rate above 1.5MB/s... 
We tried it out over cross cable as well as over a hub.
I realised some errors when I set the driver debug level to 3... 
Please have a look at it, perhaps you can help....

Thanks for your help, I really can't imagine what the problem could be...
