FC2 - Strange Ethernet Behavior

Hello again to all
Followup info on the networking problem I'm getting on FC2 (connection
speed plummeting for no apparent reason after ~1MB of sustained
traffic). I've managed to rule out our main router and firewall as a
potential source, as the problem is appearing between hosts on the
internal LAN, going through a very nice switch. I've also ruled out the
TCP Window Scale suggestion by Andy Green - tried various network ops
(internal LAN) with and without scaling, no effect whatsoever. I have
further confirmed 100% that the problem is restricted to our FC2 boxes
only. We have a Debian box that is running kernel 2.6.7, same as the
FC2's, and is using the same NIC model & module as at least one of our
FC2's, but that debian system has none of these strange network behaviors.
Any other suggestions, anyone?
John K.
