Yes, the root of the problem is that the e1000g driver can not set adv_asym_pause_cap and the default has changed from 1 to 0. Changing that value to match in other drivers enables link aggregation to work and disables advertisement of that capability. In the case of the x4100, nge parameters need to be set by adding a line in /kernel/drv/nge.conf:
