Thank you very much for testing the new rge and reporting the result.
If you like, would you try version 14 without flow-control for RTL8110SC.
14 is almost the same as 12, but it will be integrated into opensolaris.
14 is here:
http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/rge-6888015-14.tar.gz

To disable flow-control for /dev/rge0,
 # ndd -set /dev/rge0 adv_pause_cap 0
 # ndd -set /dev/rge0 adv_asym_pause_cap 0

If you reboot the system, the changes by ndd will be gone. It is *not* 
permanent.

best regards,
-masa
