Subject: Re: tg3 driver not advertising 1000mbit

I surely tried other cables. But its surely not the cable because:
1) We tried other cables
2) After a reboot it works, or after a mii-tool -R
3) We have this issue on like +100 servers :(

The servers are connected on a Dell PowerConnect 6248 switch.

Sincerely
