What kind of switch is it connected to? If it's a managed switch,
login to it and see if there are any errors in the log. Have you
tried another cable? Have you tried to plug the workstation into
another workstation that has a GigE NIC and see if they connect
at Gig speeds?
When you do network related tasks at 100Mbit are there any
errors reported by ifconfig(interface errors), or by the switch?
Are you using the tg3 driver, bcm57xx driver, the bnx2 driver
or something else?
What does lspci say for your NIC?
