Yes. However I did some more tests today and saw that this particular port
had trouble getting the link from several switches (Enterasys, HP, 3Com,
...) and with different cables (it had a 2 meter CAT6 certified cable, so it
should be ok, but I also tested shorter cables), the other port of that NIC
didn't have that kind of problem, so I'm wondering if there is a problem
with this port or this position of the passthrough or similar (I have spoken
to local HP staff and they say that the passthrough shouldn't be the problem
here, but I can't find any other explanation).

After finding the problem with the link I have configured the other port of
the bnx2 nic, eth2, which is getting the link ok this port seems to transfer
much better (lower errors and thus greater speed) I got like 40MB/s compared
to the 4 MB/s that I was getting out of the other one.
I'm sending current data for eth2 then:
