V440 ce0 interface no link issue

Hi,

I have had an issue with V440 servers for several years now regarding
bringing up the ce0 interface upon boot. Upon boot, the ce0 interface
never successfully comes up linked to its switch. We always hardwire the
interfaces to 100/Full duplex - same as the switch ports. The only fix
that ever works is physically unplugging the cat5 cable and re-inserting
it - then the link comes up right away. Also, we can down the switch
port and re-up it and it will come up.

Down/Up'ing the interface using ifconfig does not work.
Unplumbing/plumbing it does not work.

Applies to Solaris 8, 9, and 10 and only on V440's. Same ndd
configuration on other types of servers (v480/490/240) works fine.

Anyone else seen this behavior and/or a fix?

Thanks,

Karl
