The problem seems to be that autoneg is disabled on the IBM switches.
After disabling autoneg on the Sun shelf switches, I see the problem.
This patch fixes things by reverting to sw autoneg which defaults to
a 1000Mbps/full-duplex link but with no flow control when it fails
(IBM should really have autoneg enabled!) - I'd appreciate it if
someone could test this against an IBM blade.

The patch is against the 2.6.8-1.521 version of tg3.c but should
hopefully apply to other recent versions.  If there are problems,
because tw32_f() isn't defined, change

    tw32_f(x, y);

to

    tw32(x, y);
    tr32(x);

Cheers.
