Odd network issue ... *very* slow scp between two servers

[Marc G. Fournier]

Wow, okay, switching to 10baseT/UTP, full duplex is atrocious too:

1038785 bytes received in 74.30 seconds (13.65 KB/s)

So, bug with full-duplex on the em devices?

Switching to 100baseTX, half-duplex gives me an error though, but seems
to work:

neptune# ifconfig em0 media 100baseTX mediaopt half-duplex
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured

yet:

media: Ethernet 100baseTX (100baseTX <half-duplex>)
