[clue-tech] ethtool is a lying sack of snake spittle

[David L. Willson]

Updates on this problem:
 - Don't know if I mentioned it, but this problem is on two identical brand new systems.
 - The systems work perfectly with other NICs.
 - The onboard NIC will link at Gb full-duplex if I leave the cable out while the system POSTs.
 - Unfortunately, they're dropping packets like mad...

Someone asked for $(/sbin/ifconfig). Here that is:

padmin at pg-tigris:~$ ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 48:5b:39:a9:fc:18
