Well, I did a little more than this. I first tried to simply swap the
nic's, ie the cheetah nic from 0 -> 1 and the netgear nic from 1 -> 0. No
success. Next, I pulled a cheetah nic from another machine and replaced
the netgear with it. Success! rtl-diag showed that the card was in
full-duplex and everything's working now. I don;t now why this worked
because the netgear works just fine at full-duplex in one of the other
machines. Perhaps it make sense to someone.

Anyway, thanks to everybody who was thinking about my problem.
