For those mcp61 devices which connected with 10/100M PHY, please disable the 1000fdx and then have a try.

BTW, for the devices supported by nge driver, we just can support what can be found in the China market now for we can not figure out if it works or not without devices. For MCP61 chipset, we only can find one type of motherboard in China market which was supported. If you find others motherboards do not work on nic part(Nvidia mac controller), please log a driver for nge.
