Good Evening!
Have a little issue that is bothering me.  I have 2 freebsd machines, both
with Netgrear fa310 10 / 100 cards.  both on the same switch and both auto
sensing to 100baseTX full-duplex.  but when downloading from a local ftp
server.  I swapped in a new patch cable, and put in a new (identical) card
in another pci slot, with no change in speed.

one is a k6-2 550 with 256M ram running 4.0 release and it is getting
7042486 bytes received in 1.75 seconds (3.85 MB/s)

root@secureifconfig dc0
dc0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 216.37.241.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 216.37.241.255
        inet6 fe80::2a0:ccff:fe50:c586%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        ether 00:a0:cc:50:c5:86
        media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active
        supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP n
one

the other is a 750 duron, 256 M ram running 4.2 release and it is getting
7042486 bytes received in 80.44 seconds (85.49 KB/s)

daemon# ifconfig dc0
dc0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 216.37.239.66 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 216.37.239.255
        inet6 fe80::2a0:ccff:fe52:63cd%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        inet 216.37.239.65 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 216.37.239.65
        inet 216.37.239.67 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 216.37.239.67
        inet 216.37.239.68 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 216.37.239.68
        ether 00:a0:cc:52:63:cd
        media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active
        supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP n
one

not sure what info might be necessary for troubleshooting, but if anyone has
any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated

TIA

Ian
