Well, ethtool had rather negative effects.

But the so called on-board intel nic might be rather a foreign brand:

lspci:

01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 1050 (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Micro-star International Co Ltd: Unknown device 728c
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 20
        Memory at fe5fd000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
        I/O ports at c400 [size=64]
        Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2

lspci -n:

01:08.0 Class 0200: 8086:1050 (rev 02)

Any knowledge on that device? According to 
http://pciids.sourceforge.net/iii/?i=80861050 it could be:

1462:728c 865PE Neo2 (MS-6728)
or
1462:758c MS-6758 (875P Neo)

It runs with e100 driver. I'll try to get a hand on the original offer.
