Many - Many thanks to all of you for helping me this far. It's been lots of little things it seems. I've made the changes to lock into C2 and also made this change to point to the correct version of XvMC. 

I'm still seeing a lot of errors when downloading larger files of any kind on the interface. I've tracked this down to the fact that the interface does not like being plugged into a gigabit switch at all. If I plug it directly into my router it's happy and no errors. I'm wondering if there's an issue with the 8139too driver that's causing this. I can probably work around the issue by running a long ethernet cable to my router and bypass the switch, but now it's gotten to be a "got to know why" situation. I have my backend plugged into that same switch and it shows no errors on the interface so it's not the switch itself. Hmm... I'll keep digging but if anyone has some thoughts or experience on this I'd love to hear. Thanks again guys.
