Register 1 shows that autoneg did not complete (bit 5 is not set).
The tg3 device has advertised 10/100/1000 in register 4 and register 9,
but registers 5 and 0xa (link partner's advertisement registers are 0).

When it works, these registers should look very different.

Have you tried other cables?  What is the link partner?
