We've had an Accton EN1207 (w/ bnc) for more than a year and it has been
working flawlessly, both with Linux (2.0.x & 2.1.x) en FreeBSD (2.2.7). So
it's probably not a driver problem.

The delay is probably caused by the card autosensing for the signal. You
could force the driver to use a specific media. That should take care of
the delays.
