Probably you have fixed the issue with the CAT6 cable. Uhm, 'fixed' may be premature: I restarted the machine and with 22 hours uptime I am getting: tx_deferred_ok: 36254

Putting a client on the same switch port yielded no errors on the client, although unfortunately I don't have ethtool statistics on XP. The switch, btw, is a fairly generic GS108 from Netgear (there actually are two).
