bge(4), 5714, IBM BladeCenter HS12, no carrier

Hi,

I've got problems with the bge(4) interfaces on HS12 blades installed
within an IBM BladeCenter.

Basically, the interfaces are recognized and attached, but I don't get
a carrier detected.  The hardware is ok, and there is indeed a gigabit
switch connected to the ports.

ifconfig output:

bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

(There are more interfaces; I list bge0 only for brevity.)

This system is an 9-current as of today.

If there's anything else I can do to track this problem down, please
let me know.
