I have the identical problem with an Asus P4S800D-E Deluxe motherboard (which also uses a onboard Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet controller), we also have the D-Link DGS-1005D switch.
The only difference we experience is that both with Linux or MS Windows XP the system freezes up at the moment the LAN port comes available.Generating a kernel panic at boot up with linux and a complete system frees-up when we unplug 100mb and plug it into 1000mb... -- Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet fails to work as gigabit and works only in 100MBs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258400 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
