Nope, that's not it. I get the same behavior from an Intel
PRO/1000. And if that were the problem, I'd see it no matter what
hosts I connect to, but if I make the other end a FreeBSD 6.1 box, I
get a near-full pipe in both direction.

This one came on the motherboard. I was using the intel until I needed
to bridge it, and the rl bridging code worked where the em code
didn't.
