Only 100baseTX with bge BCM5722

[Alexander Sack]

Hey:

I just debugged this problem on another BCM chipset.  Please instead
of setting at particular speed:

ifconfig bgeX down
ifconfig bgeX media autoselect up

See if it auto-renegotiates correctly.

BCM phys are notorious for this issue.  Also, do you have IPMI active?

Thanks!
