I already sold the card, but it was cheep ($19.95) PCMCIA ethernet card.

I think you're using RICH NIC on Windows side.
Your NIC must be having 8760 ( or bigger ) bytes of buffer inside NIC chip.

But, in some very cheep Ethernet chip, they only have 1000( not even
1024.. unbeleavable )bytes buffer inside.
