Hi Matt,

just a follow-up.

Got it again, just had to be patient to fire a second test :

tg3: eth0: Link is down.
tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
tg3: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX.

The ease with which I reproduce it here clearly indicates that this is
related to the switch, probably just the fact that it is at 100 Mbps.
Unfortunately this evening I must go, but I still have one 100 Mbps
switch somewhere at home, I'll reproduce the same test ASAP in order
to bisect the issue.

Regards,
Willy
