When using endian FW, my downstream performance was limited to ~300kb/sec,
upstream ~15kb/sec.  Netstat showed no suspicious connections, and the
bandwidth chart did not show suspicious activity.  I turned off all services
spare DHCP, which had no effect on the problem.  Naturally, I thought I was
dealing with a cap.  I found this not to be the case by plugging a
(non-windows) client machine directly into my cable modem; I then got the
expected 8mb/sec downstream, 900k/sec upstream.

Next I checked networking hardware, thinking my switch was the problem.  I
set up internet connection sharing on my PowerMac G5, as it was my only
client machine with two NICs.  I connected the second nic back to my switch,
and plugged my wireless acces point (private, WPA2-PSK) into the same
switch.  Performance was still dandy throughout my house.

What could be causing the performance problems?  Netperf seemed like a good
way to test the NICs in my endian machine, but it was not included in the
distro, and I'm not quite sure how to use it.
