Does the GPIO driver work with these?

You should be able to force it to 100baseT on a GigE switch as a first =
step to tracking this down. Are you connecting to a 100baseT hub or =
switch? I've had stutter issues with my 100baseT hub so I've switched to =
using the GigE switch entirely... I also switched my board from octm to =
octe interfaces for things like NFS, on the theory they are better =
optimized...

I've been away at BSDcan for about a week, and so my experience is about =
10-15 days old right now. Today is catchup day at work, but I'll try to =
look to morrow.
