I just had a chance to plug the Ethernet cable directly into my laptop's
bge(4) port, and it immediately negotiated at 1000baseT; but with the switch,
it can only feel fine with 10baseT/UTP (after some 1000baseT-no carrier flip
flopping).  So it looks like it fails to talk to the switch.  Given that this
switch of mine in a simple (dumb) piece of equipment, any ideas how to help
ale(4) to negotiate with it at full speed?
