Hi Alan,

thanks for your input. I can report that Ubuntu 8.0.4 64 does behave the
same way as the 32 Bit version and limits the link speed successfully,
after the link fails several times.

After this the errors do not occurr any more.

This works for me now. I'll update the bug report on launchpad.

Regards,
Andre Pietsch
