Bastian,
Are you using a crossed ethernet cable? Don't do that. All GBit interfaces have to do that on its own.
I'm not using a crossed cable, but I actually agree with Ben that it shouldn't make a difference. The interesting part is, that the connection comes up as 1000baseT as soon as I put a switch in between the two machines.
