Yes, it is a driver bug. We hit in this same problem because the
switches are not configured to allow auto-negociated GbE.
Eg with ethtool:
# ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off
Cannot set new settings: Input/output error not setting autoneg

The patch at
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=commitdiff;h=bfd823bd74333615783d8108889814c6d82f2ab0
fixes this problem. I am attaching it already updated to work on top of
2.6.32-41.
The patch has been tested successfully with a HP NC3751 card like the reporter.
Ben, any chance to have this added to the next update of the kernel in
Squeeze?
Cheers,
Ana
