This doesn't mean the chipset is PCI-2.1 compliant. Version of PCI
BIOS and version of the chipset are two completely different namespaces.

It seems to me that the only ill effect of this "feature" (a bug,
to be honest) can be increased bus latency which is not likely to
cause any problems with network cards.
Can you explain what's exactly going wrong and send me the output
of 'lspci -vvx' for your machine?
Have a nice fortnight
