Thanks for your suggestions. But it did not work for me. I had static
ips on the device already. To announce it in the network I did:
arp -s 10.10.10.73 00:0e:ed:bf:28:1
on the server (bridge) and test desktop. But it did not improve
things: around 90% packet loss still.

As for the long transfer, no success either: tried to download an iso
image, but it did not get past the bridge :(

What I fail to find is what is different for this device, because it
works perfectly with the other cards / OS's I tried.

Happy new year,
