First off, thanks for all of the help!

Sure enough, the QFE interface was 100baseT Full Duplex and the=20
connected Cisco switch was 100baseT Half Duplex.

Of all the stupid things, auto-negotiate seems to be b0rked. =20

Forcing the switch to Full Duplex seems to have fixed the problem.  I'm
also working on getting the qfe driver up to patch level, but until the=20
next scheduled downtime, we can live...

Thanks again to all those that responded.
