I discovered this while testing out a new multi-homed bonded-T1  
installation. I was wondering why I was getting no more than ~170KB/ 
s. So far, here are the data points that I have gathered:

- It affects more than one type of NIC (em0).
- It happens regardless of hardware checksum enabled status.
- It happens independent of IP aliasing.
- I tested GENERIC as of Feb 19 and it is affected.
- A kernel from December 15th, 2006 exhibits this problem.
- The affected system is connected to a Linksys 24-port unmanaged  
gigabit switch (I have the exact same hardware working just fine with  
5.5-STABLE on the same switch).
