I went down the ethernet driver path and think I've finally found the cause of my issue that I'll validate with the author.

Digging into the bfe driver a bit more, I noticed that when I thought I was compiling the driver, it was incredibly fast -- turns out I wasn't actually compiling it, but rather using a binary that had been previously compiled from last September. I suspect it also was using mac.h from gldv3 from that timeframe and there have been changes since then due to projects like crossbow. mac.h still isn't released as stable with gldv3 so I cleaned up the compile to work with gldv2. So far I've managed to progressively copy files from 134MB up through 1GB in size. I'm running a number of other tests, but expect them to be successful.
