Tried a few things and then got motivated enough to flash in a BIOS
update (the mobo had revision 1.0F of its BIOS and I upgraded to 1.1C).
Was a bit tricky since my PVR doesn't have a floppy; had to create a
bootable DOS USB drive, which worked like a charm.

Anyway, haven't had any network problems at all with this update.
