This is the obvious test that I should have done; and you're hit the
nail on the head. bge(4) on 8-STABLE (csup'd 4-Feb-2010) has a very
bad upload speed.
I've just tried using ftp to transfer some files:
Upload speed: starts at 63 KB/s, falls rapidly before stalling.
Download speeds: starts at 9 MB/s, increasing slightly before completing.
Device from dmesg:
bge0: <Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Controller, ASIC rev. 0x00a002> mem 0xf1bf0000-0xf1bfffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci9
