I had the same idea and attached the card to another machine with a recent kernel:
# uname -a
Linux c5 4.14.1-my1a #1 SMP Wed Nov 22 11:20:35 CET 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

But the version of the cxgb3.ko is the same, and the same effect happens: no 
link establishment.

So, what should I do get it working?
I could also re-compile the cxgb3 driver with enabled diagnostic settings, if 
it has any such (haven't studied yet).

Is there an easier method to find the reason, and hopefully get it establish a 
link?

Btw, to encirle the problem, I'm simply attaching the fibre cable
from port 1 to port 2 on the same card. Is doing so ok?

Thx
