LNE100TX rev 5.1 and CableModem/Switch weirdness

Hey All,

Some strangeness for your diet here...

I just bought 2 Linksys LNE100TX rev 5.1's in my RedHat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18) 
brand new-scavenged-hand-me-down firewall.  I plugged eth0 into my Linksys 
swtich for testing and all was well, so I unplugged eth0 from the switch, 
and plugged it directly into the cablemodem (Terayon) and then eth1 into 
the link on the switch.

All of a sudden, I was getting carrier/packet errors.  I would lose every 
9th to 11th packet.  Plugged eth0 back into the switch, all problems gone, 
back to the modem, same problem.  Switched NIC's, same thing.

I have downloaded netdrivers 3.4 and compiled to no avail.

Grabbed an old linksys LNE100TX rev 4.1 from another box, plugged it into 
the modem and I get no errors.  eth1 is still buggered though because I 
cant get my other boxes to DHCP off of it.  (eth1 has carrier/packet 
errors galore also).  The NIC's are not sharing any IRQ's or anything.

Ever heard of something like this?

Dave.
