The 8139 have known problems trying to autonegotiate with *SOME*
hubs.  If you force the meida type, however, they work.

I have a rtl8139 pci card in my mailserver on a cisco catalyst 2900. I
have to set the fullduplex on the rtl8139 by hand, because it never
did it right with autonegotiation.

i have an AX10, similar design i suppose, and it works fast and fine for me
at 10megs. Are you sure the card isn't autoconfiguring for full duplex or
something like that, killing other packets on the lan ?
