The fact that once you had changed to an other switch it had started
to work points the blame to the 3Com switch. Funnily enough, about 10
years ago I would get the same kind of issues with 3Com network cards
and switches talking to each other (on 100Mbit!). Disabling the
auto-handshake and forcing the link to a particular speed would fix
the problem.
Try forcing the link speed with ethtool or similar utilities.
