apart from that it's a good idea to test them with something else,
to make sure the fibers are crossed and signal-levels are okay.
with single-mode fiber and short cables sometimes you need to insert
a dampening-block since the signal can be too strong for the receiver,
don't think it's the case here though.
Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately, this does not activate the
link either:

Three months ago I used the exact same fiber patch cable with two
other SK-9S91 under Solaris 8 in some other V210 or V240, and the
fiber link worked fine back then. Thus, the fiber should be OK
(crossover, attenuation, etc.). But will cross-check that by
installing Solaris again.
Further, I noticed ifmedia(4) differentiates between 1000baseT, SX and
LX. From this I actually realize that I should be able to set
1000baseLX for single mode fiber, not SX which is for multi mode
fiber.
Or, are you saying that the Marvell PHY 88112 does not really care
about if T, SX or LX is set, because for the optical "GBIC"
electrically all is the same?
