[nForce MCP67] Very slow wired ethernet speeds

Bug Description

Hardware has Marvell 88E8116 (1000 Mbps)ethernet adapter. Extremely fast under XP Professional (machine is dual boot with Gutsy).
1. All Unbuntu OS updates as of 12/31/07 applied.
2. All fixes under all posts added (IPV6, DNS, etc; no effect)
3. During a Synaptic download, I'm getting about 35Kbs. (Attached to a cable modem which is measuring 12 Mbs with XP.)

I'm ruling out anything DNS related because after a connection is established and a download begins, the same low speeds are constant. In reviewing other posts, this problem seems to be related to Gutsy since many users are not reporting it earlier releases.

Any suggestions will be greated appreciated, since having a system bottleneck with broadband connectivity is a real "show stopper" for my applications.

Linux cos-desktop 2.6.22-14

Excerpt from lspci:

00:0a.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: nVidia Corporation Unknown device [10de:054c] (rev a2)
 Subsystem: Holco Enterprise Co, Ltd/Shuttle Computer Unknown device [1297:3114]

Excerpt from dmesg:

[ 20.724127] eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 01297:3114 bound to 0000:00:0a.0
[ 37.114056] device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
