I checked my cables and one of them had bad pairing. Worked in 100 Mb mode, 
but not in 1 Gb mode. After I replaced it I check with flood ping, 1472 bytes 
packets again and no sign of problem here - one reply missing in almost 21 
millions tries. How are your flaps 'visible'? What fails? Ping test is simple, 
so I could overlooked something, but now it works for in 1 Gb mode, too...
