I'd also like to know which rl cards these are. Can you send the output
of pciconf -lv?
Glad to oblige

(with one connection, run a server and a client on each side and you
can test full duplex). You'll never get more than 100 Mb on a 100Mb
link or 10 Mb on a 10 Mb link, even if it's full duplex, with a single
iperf server and client.
The specific command I ran was "iperf -i 1 -N -d -P3 -c 192.168.0.1" -
from the options on my Gentoo box, -d says it does a bidirectional test
simultaneously, testing (I presumed) duplex.
rl's are known for poor performance, but should be better than that
unless you're only running a 100-200 MHz machine or so.
I just barely miss that category... ;-)

You should be seeing:
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
in your ifconfig output. Exactly what are you seeing on that line?
