Force the settings to 1000baseTX fd on both ends. I only have a crappy non manageable 1Gbps switch, so I tested to link the two servers with a crossed linked cable instead of through the switch. I now seems to have no noticable problems with the cards. If I connect it to the switch I get that link goes down and up all the time. It seems that it cant stop negotiating for the speed and update the settings all the time. Btw, I have the bge patch, posted earlier this month, installed. This happens on both 5.2.1p10 and BETA6. with or without the patch. /Bjorn
