You have a 4511 with three NICs?  (I have one of those, too, which seems to be 
working fine, at least so far.)  Anyway, sounds like the hardware is busted, 
can you try swapping to using sip1 instead, maybe?

If you had a smart switch which could produce per-port stats handy, that would 
be useful to peek at and see whether it can diagnose the misbehavior.  You 
might also try disabling autodetect and setting speed and duplex directly.  Try 
running at 10/HD if you have a 10Mbs hub or switch around...
