qla2300 at only 1 GBit on kernel 2.6.5

[Jan-Frode Myklebust <janfrode@parallab.uib.no>]

I gave up on the LSI Logic FC HBA, since we couldn't get it to work
with the SMP-kernel, so now I've gotten a qlogic QLA2300 as
replacement.

This seems to be working fine with the RedHat 2.4.21-9.0.1.ELsmp
kernel, but when I try running on the vanilla 2.6.5 kernel, it only
operates in 1 GB mode. The HBA is connected to a Infortrend SATA/RAID
box. If I try forcing the connection to 2 GBit from the Infortrend, I
get an error saying 'Cable unplugged' when loading the qla2300 module
on 2.6.5.

So, are there any module parameters I can give the qla2300, to force
it to 2 Gbit? Or anything else I can try to get full speed on my
channels?
