>Description:
        I just got a Dell Optiplex 745 with:
                bge0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0: Broadcom BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet
                bge0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 16
                bge0: ASIC BCM5754/5787 A2 (0xb002), Ethernet address 
00:1a:a0:7a:a8:ae
                bge0: setting short Tx thresholds
                brgphy0 at bge0 phy 1: BCM5754/5787 1000BASE-T media interface, 
rev. 0
                brgphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 
1000baseT, 1000baseT-FDX, auto
        With tso enabled, tcp transfer speed (using ftp) drops to about
        2.5 KiB/s...
        after a "ifconfig bge0 -tso" I get ~80MiB/s in my environment.

>How-To-Repeat:
        Use bge0 on a Optiplex 745 and enable tso.
>Fix:
        disable tso with "ifconfig bge0 -tso".
