Is anybody using this controller at 100 mbps, full duplex, on x86_64?

02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702X Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Broadcom Corporation BCM5702 1000Base-T

After autonegotiating 100mbps/full, it begins leaking packets like a sieve. 
Other machines on this 100mbps switch do not have any issues chatting 
@100mbps.  Pings to this box drop about 30% packets, there are no errors 
logged to syslog.  If I turn off autonegotating and force this machine to 
use 10mbps/full, packet loss disappears.

I'm on the 2.6.13 kernel -- none of the 2.6.15 boot on this box yet, for 
other unrelated reasons.
