modinfo tg3 will tell you any switches there are, and there aren't
really any (well, a debug enable switch, but thats it).

I maintain a server with the same board on that pushes over 100Mbps for
a good portion of the day, and have _no_ problems whatsoever with it.

You have defective hardware somewhere.

Have you run memtest86?

Have you tried a cross-over cable instead of the switch?

Have you tried the other two ethernet ports on the board?

I strongly suspect memtest86/memtest86+ will find problems.

PS: If memtest86 finds defective RAM, I suggest re-installing from
scratch once you've repaired the hardware.
