I was the one who added the card to the box so I should probably follow up
on Barrys posting.
The card is detected by FreeBSD and both ends of the fibre gets link.
(The other end is a Cisco Catalyst 6509). It seems that the card receives
data but don't transmit anything. The RX led on the NIC lights up and this
is the output from "show interface" on the switch:

This *could* be a bad fiber but since the link led lights up in both ends
I don't think the fibre is the issue. I tried changing the GBIC in the
switch since we've seen a bad GBIC before.

This happened when I pulled the fibre to change the GBIC. Again this indicates
that the NIC receives data.

I fired up tcpdump to see if the kernel got any data from the NIC.
tcpdump didn't show any packets :(

SC is the fiber connector.
