I had customer with a similar problem. Put in a dell 48 port managed switch. his IBM RS6000 server with 2 3com nic's
wouldn't show a link. we were able to make it work by forcing the switch down to half duplex on those ports. But check the cable first and make sure all the pairs are working first, then try swapping the nic out.
