One thing: this is with the driver from realtek. After this run I'll
send you another reply with the normal kernel driver. So you are about
to get a very similar mail from me.

I'm terribly sorry I didn't provide it.
This is the description of what goes wrong with the realtek-driver:
One single transfer goes ok as far as I can tell. But once I start doing
multiple things, all over nfs, like listening to an mp3 and sending over
files the connection gets the hickups.

Ok, now lets try the normal kernel driver with a clear head.

Here we go again. This is with the normal kernel-driver. It works
fine. Obviously I did something else wrong and drew the wrong
conclusion. Excuse me for that.
Heavy stress-tests work fine with this driver!
