Maverick 32-bit on a D510MO exhibits this as well, as do MeeGo 1.1.80.x builds (kernel is likewise 2.6.35-based). I've got a pretty long "grungy" cable, which I suspected might have something to do with it.

The switch it's plugged into is a GbE switch. When I moved it to a port on my wireless AP, which has a 100Mb switch in it, it connected just fine. So I'm going to guess that if it is able to communicate with the switch well enough to detect GbE on the other side but not well enough to complete negotiation, then it dies completely; but if it never detects GbE at all and the cable is okay for 100Mb, then it works.

Hope that helps...
