Can you send me a dmesg from this system? The issue with the PHY probably only works out of pure fluke, I commited a fix for certain revs of sk which exist on-board motherboards, typically AMD64-based motherboards but that was after 3.7. Anyway, a number of fixes went into the sk driver between 3.6 and 3.7 which results in much smoother and more reliable operation.
