If you have recreated it tell them how to do it and tell them to
do it in their lab and file a bug on it.

It was necessary to reboot the switch with the XENPAK in for it to work.

I note during the issue we appear to process no frames (no MAC addresses, STP received counters stop) despite counters increasing on the interface. We get a lot of PAUSE frames received too even tho its not supported on the tx and disabled on the rx. If you want really odd, the PAUSE frames continue to show received even after you pull out the fiber!
