I'm sorry, I can't tell you how to make it go. But if it's any use, I can tell
you what a known working IPv4 1000baseT/Full looks like on a Dell server I'm
bringing up:
root@server:/etc/nsd3# lspci | egrep -i ethernet

# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

What's that eth1 all about in your interfaces configuration? If eth0 is *the*
onboard ethernet, might eth1 be confusing something?
