What is more, consumer ethernet switches do do flow control, whether you want them to or not.
My understanding is that Ethernet flow control (what ever its 802.1mumble might be?) is negotiated when the link is brought-up, and that both sides must agree before it will be active. So, if you (the end station) do not want flow control, you can simply not accept it during link-up.
Under Linux, the ethtool utility can be used to affect the configuration of "pause" (the name coming from the name of the frames used by flow control - "pause frames" if I recall correctly)
