Matt was almost right - the link partner however might be working in half duplex
mode. in case you force speed/duplex, you are *required* to force the exact same
setting on the link partner, otherwise things like this can happen.
if you "just" want to disable gigabit speed, get the latest ethtool and run:
ethtool -s eth0 advertise 0x0f
which keeps autonegotiation enabled but tells the e1000 card to _not_ advertise
gigabit speed capability to the link partner. The link partner and the e1000 can
then decide with autonegotiation whether to use 10half 10duplex 100half or 100full.
