I am not familiar with TSM on Solaris but I have seen a similar issue on
AIX. The issue we had was that we had a 100Mb ethernet adapter set to
auto_negotiate and the Switch (A high-end Cisco piece of kit) was also set
to auto-negotiate. When the network came up, the AIX server set itself to
100Mb half-duplex and the switch set the port to 100Mb full duplex. This
caused dire performance problems due to lost packets.

All I can think of is that maybe it is something like this affecting your
second adapter.
