Symptoms
Some on-board ixgbe interfaces on certain x86 and SPARC systems are reported not to link up with 1 Gbit/s speed even if the switch advertizes it. The link is down or the Auto-negotiated link speed stays at 100 Mbit/s instead. This was seen in conjunction with certain switch models.

The symptom was reported with
- ixgbe on-board interfaces on X3-2 (X4170 M3), X3-2L (X4270-M3), X4-2, X5-2 and T5-2 using the Intel X540 (Twinville) chip set
