If the problem shows up at 10baseX speeds, you could try setting up a
10base2 network comprising the two test machines and a third machine
as a sniffer. The thinwire will allow an independent sniffer without
introducing any other hardware (like hubs) that might affect the
results. If you suspect a s/w problem, have the sniffer run different
s/w (a commercial LAN analyser if you have one available, otherwise
maybe something non-FreeBSD).
This should allow you to identify whether it's a transmit or receive
problem.
