I've also followed up with a suggestion to look at mii-tools. It generates an error as if the card were too old to be used this way.
What card is it exactly? Most likely the linux drivers for that card are buggy. There are quite a number of older odd-ball cards that were never properly implemented in linux and haven't been updated in years. (I had a lot of these problems with TI chips for example).
Run out and pick up a new NIC card. They are dirt cheap these days (less than $20) and I'll bet that will solve your problem.
