Just a thought but have you hard-coded speed and duplex all the way through? Don't trust auto-negotiation.
Just a dissenting opinion here on that last bit. No less a source than Donald Becker often advises *strongly* against disabling auto-negotiation. Yes, some switches *cough*Cisco*cough* historically did it very badly. But that was then, not now. And, AIUI, it's actually part of the gbe standard.
