I've also seen related type of problems when the linux box is configured at half duplex and the switch/hub is configured at full duplex. We use a lot of Intel pro 100 hardware cards and eepro100-utils-1.9-2.i386.rpm contains utilities to display and set the network card mode. You may want to look at http://www.scyld.com/diag/index.html, it contains an impressive list of diagnostic network tools for different types of networking cards. Hope this helps.
