I'm seeing some stalls on RXing packets which takes performance
down to ~50mbs on a 100BaseTX link.  TX runs at 92mbs with no stalls.
This is on -stable.

I don't see this with the OpenBSD driver.  -current is really slow on
RX.

What have others experienced?  I'm starting to look at the differences
to ste(4) the Sundance ST201 driver.

Thanks,

Doug A.
