The machine uses the NetXtreme II card. The really strange thing here is, the switch shows a link, but the card shows no carrier in the setup. It started working for a few seconds at one point when I reset the switch (at least, I think that's what I did), and it detected 1000BaseSX as the media and showed a status of active, but promptly went away. If I try setting the media type manually, that doesn't appear to work. Has anyone seen this or have any ideas?
