You can force 10/100 for the board that does not work, with the gigabit switch, by doing one of two things:
1) sudo ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full
2) modify your eth cable by cutting (and removing) the blue and brown pairs, which creates a four wire 2 pair cable (green and orange 1 2 3 & 6) which will fall into 100mb/s by default; what people around here are calling the 'hackafix'. (I think that is funny)
I doubt seriously that your board is dropping packets on the 10/100 switch; not getting those reports from anyone else. You may have a seriously defective board. Obviously there is a soldering problem on these boards, and obviously many gigabit boards are not functioning anywhere near 1000mb/s. Your board may be even worse; although, I have not seen that yet (yours would be the first reported).
