Try connecting to an old half-duplex hub instead of a full-duplex switch to see if it works. Perhaps the duplex setting is not consistent between the network driver and PHY.

I have a board with exactly the same symptoms, but I've not yet had the time to look into this. However using the old hub provided a temporary "fix"...
