Actually, this is only for the 815E chipset.  So far, it seems that
this particular chipset experiences SCB timeouts when running at 10Mb/s,
but works at 100Mb/s.  Regular PCI cards (and certain 815E motherboards)
don't seem to have this problem.

The problem with 10Mb/s on -stable yesterday is for the ancient versions
of the 82557 cards with a serial PHY; I screwed up the initial commit.

This problem looks like either the NIC isn't transmitting, or it is 
sending garbage out on the wire.  I'd suggest checking the netstat 
statistics (netstat -s) on the boxes and see if anything's incrementing.
