problems with heavy system load: msg#00007

Subject: problems with heavy system load
Hello together,

my current system:
- Debian testing
- Kernel 2.6.11 (and the corresponding orinoco driver)
- an ELSA (now Lancom) AirLancer MC-11 (AFAIK the same as an orinoco
  silver), WEP-40 is enabled
- a PCI-PCMCIA adapter (was bundled with the card, so called
  AirLancer PCI-11)
 
When I want to transfer big files via this interface, the system load (not
cpu load) rises - after some seconds even simple events like mouse
movements are delayed for seconds. I tested this with big files over NFS
and also with raw sockets, so it is not the NFS software. I already
tried to play with the interrupts, but I could not achieve any
improvement.
 
I am not sure if the orinoco driver or the interface card (info below),
a network option (QoS?) is wrong or missing or anything else causes
these problems. Does anyone have an idea?
 
TIA
Daniel Winkler
 
P.S. lspci -v tells us about the interface:
