You *may* have a mismatch in autonegotiation or manual
speed/duplex parameters between dc0 and whatever it's
plugged into. Make sure both sides are set to
autonegotiate or, if they're set manually, that both
use the same speed and duplex parameters.

Personal preference, but I disable autonegotiation
wherever I can. I have had more connectivity problems
with autoneg than virtually any other networking
issue.
