What's the impact ?
You can make a trunk between any working interfaces, there should be no problems with doing this. Not sure if it will help, but we may need something like this for the MII driver, adapted from http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=241437 "For 5717C/5719C/5720C and 57765 PHYs, do not perform any special handling(jumbo, wire speed etc) in brgphy_reset(). Touching BRGPHY_MII_AUXCTL register seems to confuse APE firmware such that it couldn't establish a link." BTW there were a bunch of changes to the linux tg3 driver fairly recently which seem connected with the 5719/5720 devices.
