This is the case with dot1q packets and i *believe* ISL -- these
types cannot be CEF switched and are punted. Like you said, GigE
and 75xx just dont mix well... and if you're even thinking about
pushing anything over 200-300mb, save yourself pain and hassle and
go buy a GSR or Juniper. If you require Gig-E speeds, you should be
on those routers anyways.
