For me playing around with mii-tool helps. After setting the transmission
mode to something else than 100FD, I can even let it autonegotiate back
without causing trouble. The corrupt frames disappear and do not come
back. A reboot however lets the trouble begin again.
As stated in the original report, there were no problems with the kernel
release before, so the problem should be solvable by software.

But for me this might still be a good suggestion. Or I start some
mii-tool voodoo in init.d.
