I have a number of HP Elitebook systems I recently purchased. There appears to be an issue with the network card, the upload speed is fine, but download speed is significantly lower than it should be. I am running GigE with the systems connected to a Cisco 6509 switch. I am getting about 40MB/s upload speed and between 5-15MB/s download speeds. It is the same on all of the laptops. Since uncompressed video needs to be streamed to these units when they are on the LAN the inconsistent speeds make it impossible to watch DV50 or even DV25 video.

Any help will be appriciated,
