 So, when the igb ports are in the failing configuration what are they
 connected to specifically, what device/nic?
 
 There is no special procedure "looking for a switch", its just the autoneg
 between two devices, so maybe there
 is some compatibility issue. Also occurs to me that an interesting test
 would be to swap the two pair of devices
 and see if the problem follows the function or not, do you understand?
 
 Regards,
 
 Jack
