I want to connect a Linux server to a CISCO switch with fiber gibabyte.
The Server has a Intel Corp. 82544EI Gigabit EthernetController, and the
CISCO is a CISCO 3525-XL.

When I plug the wires, I see the led blinking but I can't manage to make
the linux box see the other PCs connected to the FastEthernet ports.
I can't even see no packages if I do a tcpdump. Only ARP who-has .. tell.

I also tried to configure the server interface as a vlan with the linux
vlan howto, with the same results.

Any hints ?
