After an upgrade, you need to re-install the drivers of the Ethernet card once again. please re-install the drivers once again. This should solve your issues.
If this solution was helpful to you, please let us know about it. And if you need further information please do write to us. We will be pleased to serve you once again.
If you are sure it is a motherboard problem relating to the on board ethernet connection, purchase a PCI slot ethernet card and see if using the card manufacturers drivers are better than the motherboard ethernet drivers.
Although i'm not sure how a slow connection is the motherboard problem, it maybe that it's SP2 thats the problem.
Have you checked the driver that is used for the onboard ethernet connection, it maybe you need to re-install original motherboard ethernet driver you got with it.
