Only 100baseTX with bge BCM5722

Hello!

Scenario:

* Machine: HP Proliant ML110 G5
* Integrated NIC: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe
* FreeBSD 7.0
* Kernel recompiled patching bge driver as explained at 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/119779

The card works only at 100baseTX:

media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active

If I try:

# ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex

I obtain:

media: Ethernet 1000baseTX <full-duplex>
status: no carrier

Of course, the card is connected to a Gigabit switch, as other FreeBSD 
machines that we have.

The problem seems similar to http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-
current/2008-April/084606.html

Any idea?

Regards,

Josep Pujadas
