    It could be an interrupt routing issue.  Try compiling up a kernel
    with polling support.  The VR device does support polling.  That might
    get it to work.

    Another option is to stick in a PCI ethernet card, which is actually what
    I do on my shuttle to get GigE speeds.  My AMD64 shuttle is a FN85 which
    has the NVidia chipset (so, nv0 rather then vr0).
