Same problem here, with quad-port dlink boards (uses 21143 too).
I've never been able to get them properly in 100Mbs full-duplex with the
de driver; hardwiring board and switch to 100Mbs half duplex gives expected
results (yes, Full-duplex would be better but HD is better than nothing :)

The same board works properly at 100Mbs FD with the new tulip driver (only
in -current, unfortunably).
