If it is working properly you should not lose *ANY* packets on an
otherwise idle connection, except
Hmm, same cables, same switch, different card, now it all works.
I did do some ICMP ping testing with ping -f and only lost 3
packets after letting it run for a good 10s.

By your description, it is almost certainly a packet loss problem...
a cabling issue or a switch issue most likely. Try doing large
pings, like this, and see if you get hicups:
bsdbox# ping -i 0.1 -s 3000 linuxbox

And you've done tests in both directions, or just in one?

Sorry to follow-up to my own message, but using a FreeBSD
4.6.2-RELEASE box with the Linux box works just fine. It uses an
xl0 instead of an fxp0.
I've done a sysctl -a on each box. Here's the differences.
Anything look suspicious?
Thanks.

Check out the duplex setting on the ethernet ports. Use
'ifconfig' and 'netstat -I dev -w 1' on FreeBSD
and
'ifconfig', 'mii-tool' and 'cat /proc/net/dev' on Linux
Any sort of errors may lead to this sort of behaviour. You need to match
the hosts to the switch port they are connected to.
