What clock speeds are you running? Are they full or half duplex
connections?

Hmmm...Do you ever see any buffering problems on the Linux driver
side, like the CPU can't keep up with the data?

I have seen some noise problems with some boards between the MAC and
PHY. Some crappy looking layouts worked great, some really pretty
ones had trouble :-). I don't know if this would be represented as
a CRC error or something else.
Good Luck! Keep us posted :-).
