This looks like you have it set to 100-FD *Manual*. Try
ifconfig fxp0 media autoselect
What kind of switch do you have your NIC plugged into ?
What is the output of
netstat -ni
and
sysctl -a | grep flight

This box is plugged into my Linksys Wireless router. I don't think
it's the router as other boxes connected to it seem unaffected. I
tried swapping the network cable and the port on the router, but
Ierrs increased. Bad network card? Misconfigured network card/
driver?
It looks like a duplex mismatch. Change your duplex settings to
auto and see how things go from there.

AHA!
That worked.
The sad thing is that I read somewhere (probably on this list) that
*forcing* 100 would
_increase_ performance because there wouldn't be any auto
negotiating. I added it to
my rc.conf, but later I decided that it didn't help any so I ran
ifconfig fxp0 media autoselect,
but failed to change my rc.conf back! Now I have learned that not
only did it not improve performance, it seriously
crippled it. Thanks for helping me track that down.
