 I updated my LX which has a QFE card and tested 7.1. It works fine for me
 with static addresses when connected to a gigE switch. The on-board hme
 on the U2 also works fine with static addresses:
 
 # ifconfig hme0

         media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX half-duplex)

 Noticed the half duplex and forced it to full duplex, and it still works:
 
 # ifconfig hme0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
 # ping 192.168.111.42

         address: 08:00:20:7c:f9:e9
         media: Ethernet 100baseTX full-duplex

         inet 192.168.111.60 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.111.255
         inet6 fe80::a00:20ff:fe7c:f9e9%hme0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
 
 and actually in full-duplex mode even dhcpcd works fine.
 So I tried again in sysinst, went to Utilities/Configure Network,
 selected media type 100baseTX (instead auf autoselect) and it worked
 fine.
 
 Not believing what I could see I rebooted and retried with "autoselect"
 and indeed that reproduced the failure again.
 
 Julian, does this ring a bell for you?
