Maybe it has something to do with initialisation that I don't do
properly. The bootloader is uMon, not YaMon so maybe something is
execpted to be setup that I don't know of.

I don't habe a 10/100 switch but I tried on a 10/100 Hub and the results
are quite the same. I just have a few "rx runt" error more that are due
to the hub.

Phy reports 100Mbps half duplex with the hub and 100Mbps full duplex
with the switch, which looks correct.
btw, It seems that after a timeout error, the au1000_timer isn't
restored correctly ( I put a printk in it and before the errors, it
prints every sec, and never after ).

Sure, with 3 differents cables in fact.
