I'm changing the local network name of a few machines as well as their IP
addresses (because I'm putting them on a different local subnet, e.g.
192.168.1.0 rather than 192.168.0.0). Changing the static IP addresses is
easy, but I've not changed a network name before.

I'm going to buy a new network card for my machine (running Debian potato
2.2r6).
Are there any net cards with a good reputation for stability and ease of
install (i.e. not having to compile my own driver would be a plus)?

(Context: See previous posts of mine about problems with my potato 2.2r6
machine)
I've narrowed down the problem with my box to being network related.
(Btw, I'm running in console mode only, no X sessions here.)
Bascially, my machine is fine with low-traffic network access (e.g. telnet or
ssh)
Can anyone recommend a good package or a good way to CPU load test my debian
box? (I have Potato 2.2r6). My box keeps freezing up, it seems to always happen
when the network card is busy (copying files mainly). But it could be just the
CPU load which is causing it, which is why I want to take the n

Each time I reboot my debian box, I have to bring up the network manually.
If I just try "ifup eth0", I get the error "Operation failed". To get the
network back, I have to type the following each time:
insmod 3c59x
update-modules
ifup eth0
..and then my network is back. Is this normal? I'm sure

I'm running the standard ftpd on my debian (potato) machine. When I ftp in,
there is a 20 second pause between the message "Connected to " and the
login prompt actually coming up. Is there any reason for this delay? Is it a
