It does. However the problem persists.
I changed the default debug value to 7 again.

Here's more information:
Unlike the old driver this one repeatedly logs:
Mar 20 21:47:50 cobra kernel: eth0: Setting
full-duplex based on MII #1 link partner capability of
3100.
Mar 20 21:48:30 cobra last message repeated 4 times

...when inactive...

The opposite side repeatedly logs:
eth0: lost link beat
eth0: found link beat
eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100BaseT-FD selected

As for the scp transfer.... same problem except
now I get "Transmitter underflow?" errors
and status of 0008.

Here's a section of an example log:
