 From what i have understand it happens *only* with onboard NIC,  
because with this the Board Manufacturer is responsible for the NIC  
firmware and according to Intel they sometimes flash the wrong  
settings for the 82574L. We had a Fujitsu Board with the very same  
problem but none of our Intel add-on cards where affected.

As said have a look for Board BIOS update.
