not sure... please check the version for forcedeth that you made.

    forcedeth: fix kexec regression
    
    Fix regression tracked as http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11361
    and caused by commit f735a2a1a4f2a0f5cd823ce323e82675990469e2 ("[netdrvr]
    forcedeth: setup wake-on-lan before shutting down") that makes network
    adapters integrated into the NVidia MCP55 chipsets fail to work in kexeced
    kernels.  The problem appears to be that if the adapter is put into D3_hot
    during ->shutdown(), it cannot be brought back into D0 after kexec (ref.
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121900062814967&w=4).  Therefore, only
    put forcedeth into D3 during ->shutdown() if the system is to be powered
    off.
