tg3 says

tg3: eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex.
tg3: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX.

but sungem says

eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full-duplex.
eth0: Pause is disabled

Hrm... I suppose I need to dig more. No time to do that today though.
I was about to try and debug this, and noticed immediately that I
didn't recognize any of the code.

Could you look into this, you rewrote all of this stuff and this
looks like a regression added, because I know this pause stuff
used to work perfectly when I wrote the original GEM driver. :-)
Heh, it's very possible it's a regression I added indeed. I'll try to
have a look next week. Do you know of anybody who can verify on non-mii
hardware or is pause irrelevant there ?

Ben.
