Thank you for the many responses. The concensus is that auto-negotiation and
/or auto-sensing never works between an alpha ethernet card and an
etherswitch. Many people reported success setting both the alpha and the
switch to require fast full duplex:
e.g. for tu0 (from the DU console:=) >>> set ewa0_mode FULLFD (or some
variation, if you type "set ewa0_mode wronganswer", you should get the list
of acceptable keywords. Another suggestion was to try another 100base/T
cable.
I thought I had tried the hard set full duplex already, but knowing that it
has worked for some others, I will go try it again with a new cable and hope
for the best.
