Addressing only this specific issue, and not the larger $thread issue...

Depends on what driver and version you are using. It is preferred these
days to force the media using ethtool. But that said, if a NIC driver
allows you to force in 2.4 and not in 2.5, that definitely sounds like
an eth driver bug.
