The behavior I've seen in the past is Sun gear negotiating properly when
plugged into Cisco gear that is already running. If you power cycle the
switch with the servers already attached the port will not negotiate
correctly... usually to half duplex.
Also I've seen duplex problems in the past week that caused, runts, giants,
collisions, CRCs, errors of all sorts, kernel module reloads, vlan tagging
failure, and depletion of the ozone layer. Or maybe is was reality tv that
caused that ozone thing...
