I couldn't find anything in the outputs that would explain the fault :-(
However, I think that the "working slow" state is different from the 
"frozen" state. I can't explain at all what change in hardware could 
explain the "working slow" state - any power management would stop traffic 
completely, duplex mismatch would not produce such delays to small ping 
packets - so I would look at either routing or the switch.

Talking about power management (in which I have very little knowledge), 
could you check what are the APM/ACPI setting of the computer and maybe 
play with them ?
Could you try the driver from Scyld ? If I'm not mistaken the power 
management is different in this one.
Could you try 3Com's driver (well, supposing that you could get it to 
work) ? If my memory doesn't fail me, this one didn't use any power 
management at all...
