Thanks for the info. It's nice you found a workaround. How did you arrive at adding that option and it's value? For s&g, I tried adding that line as well to see if it fixed my problem. With this option, dmesg reported that the card was put into mode 8 (autonegotiation). This hosed my connection altogether, including connecting to a 100Mb/s switch.
