use Intel ethernets. even the cheap ones work as expected. also ask them to set ports to 10 half 10 full 100 half, reset counters on each change, you change to the same and see if in any works without errors. or ask them to set it to auto. also change cables to something real.
its swimming with eyes closed with other than intel cards.
