thank you all for your help. It works now because of you! Here is what
happened. I've brought the 2940 switch from Cisco and found that my
le0 is not doing the handshake, so I assume there might be a way to
reconfigure AUI to TPE, although going inside of the bios could not
figure out the right way.

After that I got 4 port network card and configured the qfe3
interface, at which point the switch saw that port and the rest was
just a standard file config.
