I agree - well known problems with Cisco switches.

In the past when working with them on clusters I've had all sorts of
shenanigans with autonegotiation.
Donald Becker doesn't mince his words on this one, but I can't
get Google to find a good quote.
By way of consolation, this looks a good article.
And BTW, if you have driver problems, always wise to go to the horse's
mouth.
