As someone who has nothing of my own to offer, I do recall reading of a similar (if not identical) problem a few months ago. Seems the cause of the slowdown was that the NIC needed to work half duplex rather than full duplex. Reconfiguring to half duplex brought the speed back up to expected rates. Sorry I can't recall the source on this info.
