Also if you are using an Intel 1000/PRO card there is a driver update from Checkpoint R55 for stability.

Hi, Try mii-tool command to view/set interface speed. eg.: To force the eth1 interface to 100 Mbps link speed, full duplex use mii-tool eth1 -F 100baseTx-FD To view the interface status and I/O u cab use ifconfig -a.
