Ah.  I see you are using LACP port channeling (What Sun calls a "trunk").
Is it correctly configured on the switch?  To use a LACP trunk, the switch
needs to support it, and it needs the four ports must be configured into a
single port-channel. Do you use auto-negotiation and is it set exactly the
same on the switch and on the host?

The reason why I ask these questions is because 3 failed ports on a switch
is just too unlikely.
