Going through the phy.txt doc under Documentation/networking:
PHY Abstraction Layer
(Updated 2008-04-08)
though it may be a bit out-of-date, I did see what you are talking about.  What I'm hung up on at the moment is the behavior of adjust_link().  It appears that I only need to start the queues, though I don’t know.

Currently, when I do this I only get the call to adjust_link() over and over again.
