Telling me what kind of NIC it is isn't going to help, 82573's are working the
world over :)  What exactly is your laptop, what model, is the NIC a LOM
(on the motherboard) or some addin.

Some random thoughts:

There should be NO need to specify full duplex, if you have to do that then
you have some problem with your switch.

Are you loading the driver as a module, or is it static?

So, if you do this:  get a cable and eliminate any switch, just a back to back
connection between two machines,  then if you load the driver and ifconfig
address up... what happens??
