Well, I don't have such an adapter, but most of the times I encountered
a similar message with older 10/100 adapters, it was caused by a link
status issue or duplex mismatch.

Could you check with ethtool or mii-diag that the link status is correct
and 100 Mbps/Full duplex (assuming you're connected to a switch) ?
