Ok. this looks like it fixes the problem with the fiber-port gem, but 
the 10/100 TP gem just bounces back and forth between these messages, 
and never gets link:

[  174.260495] eth0: switching to forced 10bt             
[  194.660290] eth0: switching to forced 100bt            

Ideas?  It does this even with the interface not configured (down 
according to ifconfig), which is kinda annoying on the console... I have 
to do an "ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off" to make it stop.
