Realtek r8169 always flapping

Tried setting just speed 1000 duplex full - no difference.
After that set speed 1000 duplex full on a switch side - link down O_o.
After changing to 100 everything is working.
Now set ETHTOOL_OPTS="autoneg off speed 100 duplex full" only on my side
(and auto on a switch - standard port config)
No flapping so far on 100Mbps. I think I will use this workaround, still
very strange why it doesn't work properly on 1000, I guess its a kernel
module problem or something like that. If anybody still has any suggestions
about 1Gbps - you are welcome :).
