it’s a basic netgear 8 port gig switch, it doesn’t have an upgradeable
firmware and I know my desktop negotiates gigabit as soon as its powered on,
no lag. im thinking driver issue

I actually have an issue with a Netgear gigabit NIC taking over 60
seconds once pfsense was loaded to finish auto negotiating the gigabit

gigabit switch but nothing could touch the inside interface until it
finally switched over to gigabit. makes it insanely long for firewall to
come back up after a reboot.
Upgrade your switch firmware if possible and see if that makes a
difference. Does that same NIC behave the same using Windows? If so, well
it's just junk, if not, there's a FreeBSD driver issue of some sort.
