Intel I354 NICs only running in 100Mbit Mode

Question

Error: Ports eth0-eth3 on a SG135 rev2 will currently only run at 100Mbit. This error persists whether you run a hardware version, or even if you were to rip out the SSD, install another one and run the SG135 on a software license for the lols. The error persist no matter which switch or NIC you throw at it at the other end. 
 
 Affected Model: SG135 Rev2 
 Model has 8 Interfaces. 
 eth0-eth3 = Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection I354 
 eth4-eth7 = Intel Corporation I211 Gigabit Network Connection 
 
 According to Intel, the I350 Chipset is Gigabit capable. The i354 in the Sophos indicates that it is the quad port variant of the i350 chip.

 Question: Is there a way to get the SG135 back to speed, or is this one of these legacy hardware bugs nobody gives two flying expletives about?
