ok I did alot of testing tonight and here is the results.
All test below were from the ftp -4a command you suggested. I tried different sites (first with the bsd and when that was done i downloaded the exact same file with my laptop). All the test were done through the dlink so I didnt have to deal with pppoe authentication.
openbsd amd64: 300k avg
win xp laptop (same file a few seconds after the openbsd finished 1.7megs)
i tried several sites with similar results. openbsd got no greater then 300k...windows consistantly got 1+ meg
Then I took a old 3com 100mb card and created /etc/hostname.xl0 with dhcp in the file. I never could get a file to download. I kept getting watchdog messages.
Then I formatted and put windows vista on the atom machine.(flame suit on) After installing the network card drivers I got 1.7meg from the same file. I got the same results from both network cards.
Then I reformatted openbsd with i386 with no changes except for /etc/hostname.re0 == dhcp
Top speed on the same file was 300k.
I was able to get a different 3com card to work on this box but i only got about 200k though the pci slot.
I have saved my dmesg and hopefully that will help diagnose the problem
