What's the exact configuration?

(eg: 8600 Asante Foo etherenet card -> Netgear 10/100 switch -> G4
        gigabit ethernet)

One possibility is that the 100M card may be set to Full Duplex and the
switch to Half Duplex or Autoconfigure.

Half - Half     Good, 100 MB each way, 100 MB total.
Full - Full     Good, 100 MB each way, 200 MB total.
Half - Auto     Auto -> Half, good, 100 MB each way, 100 MB total.
Auto - Auto     Auto -> Full, good, 100 MB each way, 200 MB total.
Full - Half     Bad, duplex conflict.
Full - Auto     Auto -> Half, bad, duplex conflict.

If you have a duplex conflict you only get a few packets through.
