I did not read (and find) your original posting, but it appears to me that your problem is similar to mine. I upgraded to 4GB RAM on X86_64 and after that my Intel Gigabit card stopped working. http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/19/144
Perhaps the higher class Gigabit cards need some memory area that is (once) overwritten with 4GB main memory? I have no clue, actually :)

Did you try the ethtool tests? They show more information, at least with my card.

Does the problem still occur with 2GB (less)? Did you try running Knoppix? The latter solves the problem here, but obviously Knoppix is no final solution.
