Maybe there are device conflicts that have not been cleaned up?  Did
you try "devfsadm -C" to get rid of extraneous links?

Also, do you have link light on the ports when you plug in your cables?

You might want to eliminate some variables and try a cross-over cable
between two ports on the Sun (or directly from the qfe to a free
ethernet on another box).  This will allow you to eliminate anything
downstream of the Sun (for instance--are the ports turned up on the
switch?).
