Hi Valentin,
I've had a look at your setup, and the only thing that occurs to me is
that perhaps the network is not configured as you think it is. Forgive
me, and let me explain why I think this.
The MII status of the ethernet device is dictated by the physical link
presence on the wire. If eth1 is telling you its MII status is down,
then you can believe it pretty much 100%. Therefore:
1) Perhaps switch-2 and switch-1 are "back to front"?
2) Perhaps eth0 and eth1 are "back to front"?

(My money would be on 2)
Are you physically close to the servers? Can you *physically* pull the
cable from what you believe to be eth1 and see what errors you get?
Likewise the "g11" link from the switch?

That's all I can think of!

Regards,

C.
