Network Cards Sends Billions of Packets

I have an IBM laptop with a built in 10/100 Mbps network card.

For the most part the card performs fine, downloading at about 80% utilization (@ 100 Mbps); however, when I go to upload files with it it slows way down often uploading at about 0 to 20% utilization (It stays at 0% for a while then transfers a bit then goes back to 0%.)

I can't help to think that it has something to do with the fact that the adapter is for some reason sending about 3-4 billion (yes billion) packets a second.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks,
Ryan

Billions? Per second?

1. Bad NIC driver
2. Bad Hardware

Replace driver first. If problem persists, get a new PCMCIA NIC for about $40 and see how that goes.
