Is it ethtool > problem or tg3 problem? The problem is with the tg3 driver. Ethtool just prints out what tg3 reports. I have the same trouble with the same combination (tg3 & 5703) and just went with bcm5700. tg3 and 5701 does work properly, though. So I believe it is the combination tg3+5703 that does not report link state correctly. -Nicolas Dade
