[driverloader] Constant, excessive disk activity with D-Link DWL-G650 rev B3

[Vladimir G. Ivanovic]

My disk is *constantly* active. I can shut the activity off with `ifdown
eth0' ;-) 

When I say constantly, I mean 200-300 KB/s and 30% CPU (according to
gkrellm). This has a huge performance hit on my old, slow NEC Versa SX
(300 MHz Pentium II, 256 MB, 40GB disk). It nearly, but not quite, makes
the system unusable.

I am running a fully updated Fedora Core 1 (2.4.22-1.2174.nptl kernel)

How can I shut this needless disk activity off?

Thanks.

P.S. More information, including the output of `dldrconfig --dumpdiag'
gladly provided.
