	Ah ha!  I thought I was the only one having problems with the de
	driver.  Performance just went right down the tubes running 
	100BaseT at Full-Duplex.  However, after days of troubleshooting
	why I was getting 6Kb a second across a X-over cable between two
	machines, I ran it down to the Full-duplex operation.  Apparently,
	When half-duplex was enabled, performance was great...at
	full-duplex...6kb a sec (even ftp stalls).  FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE
	and 3.3-STABLE...same results on both.

	Anyone else?
