The Realtek is a cheap adapter. You can try hard-coding the
media type to see what happens, but the fact remains this is
nowhere near as good a card as the 82801B. As a result of this
there hasn't been that much attention to driver optimizations,
you can review the work here:

Hmm... replying to myself here, but using iperf I see 420Mbit/s+ from
FreeBSD to Windows with TCP. Vice versa, 640mbit/s approx.
Not so with file transfers across ftp, http, and smb though. Which is odd.
