@Wolfgang Glas:
what do you mean by "Were's your bandwith bottleneck with wireless/wired connection" ?
My wired connection is 100Mbps and my wireless is 802.11g so theoretically is 54Mbps.

@Jeremy Bar:
I tried the solution found here
http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sls-archives/suse-linux/hardware-support/384758-network-fix-various-notebooks-intel-82573l.html
with the additional note for the make:
make CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DDISABLE_PCI_MSI CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DE1000_NO_NAPI install
I have to test it more thoroughly though. It seemed to improve my situation. I downloaded a 700MB file but it didn't downloaded completely because firefox crashed. I hope to test it this afternoon.
I haven't run "sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r`" though.
When I test it I will report back here.
Thanks anyway :)
