Machine:  HP Proliant DL380G4
Network adapter: HP NC7782 Gigabit Server Adapter

Apparently the use of configuration directives :

  ifconfig_bge0="inet xx.xx.xx.xx  netmask 255.255.240.0 media 100baseTX 
  mediaopt full-duplex"  

caused  incoming network traffic to be throttled to a trickle.  When 
the media and mediaopt parameters were removed the interface worked 
perfectly.  Is this gotcha a bug in the bge driver and if so how
should it be reported?
