This sounds like you're having some autoneg difficulties from the
interfaces on your sun systems.
Ensure you are running 100 full-duplex by forcing the interfaces on your
suns to be 100 full-duplex:
cat << EOF >> /etc/systems
set qfe:qfe_adv_autoneg_cap=0
set qfe:qfe_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set qfe:qfe_adv_100fdx_cap=1
EOF
You may also force the interfaces to 100 full-duplex using ndd, but your
setting will be lost at the next boot.
