Silly question - how are the switch ports configured? I'd try toggling
it from whatever it it is now. We've seen some similar sounding problems
with Intel NICs and Cisco switches where either auto or forced port
settings will cause extremely slow transfers without causing any errors
on either end. It's card/port specific, too, as we've seen cases where
allegedly identical hardware must be configured as the opposite of its
"twin".
