I already did it twice. I think this is FW related and not only the
commit adding afex support. It may have solved a link issue (I am just
guessing, based on experiments) ?

FW replaced in this commit does not deal with link at all,

One is involved in link management is displayed using 'ethtool -i' - it comes with
a card  and driver independent.

Is device configured for MF by the switch?
Can you please share lspci output?

Other thing that can help in analysis is msglvl 0x4 for both situations

We were unable to reproduce the issue on 3.2. Can you please provide logs from your setup?
