This appears to have been the problem. The 3c59x driver in FC1 on my
Dell was the problem. The solution was odd. I found it in a bug
report. The ethernet connection was working, but had a ton of
collisions and receive errors. Following the suggestion in the bug
report, I turned kudzu off and reboot the machine. No collisions, and
no errors. Backup times are back to where they were. Thank you for your
suggestion.
