Strange, but it does look like a driver problem.

The links you provide show various different problems with that NIC.
In some cases, irqpoll in the kernel boot line fixes, in others some
fiddling with ethtool was needed...

It'll be good to know which of the fixes helps you :-)

BTW, if you upgraded from XS-0.4, it might be a good idea to rm
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

cheers,
