Linus's tree has the fix, via my net-2.6 tree, so if you use a pure
sparc-2.6 tree you won't have it.

You can thus try adding the following patch on top of your sparc-2.6
tree, or alternatively, try Linus's current tree as all the sparc
fixes have been merged there now too.

    sungem: Fix Serdes detection.
    
    We need to look for the 'shared-pins' property to get
    this right.
    
    Based upon a patch by Hermann Lauer.

Ok. this looks like it fixes the problem with the fiber-port gem, but 
the 10/100 TP gem just bounces back and forth between these messages, 
and never gets link:

[  174.260495] eth0: switching to forced 10bt             
[  194.660290] eth0: switching to forced 100bt            

Ideas?  It does this even with the interface not configured (down 
according to ifconfig), which is kinda annoying on the console... I have 
to do an "ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off" to make it stop.

This is a feature.  It tries different possibilities trying to
get a link going.

I'm not to thrilled about it and it is different from how other
network drivers behave.

I'll try to find some time to take a look at this, thanks for the
report Patrick.
