Hello Francois,

it looks OK now - no more "eth0: link up" messages and network hangs any
more.
I've send and received 60 GB to and from the system and the performance
is ~30 MB/s.
I'll keep the system up and running and do some more stability tests.

The only thing that's missing now is the transfer LED: the yellow link
LED is on,
but the green transfer LED is off and doesn't blink.

Thanks a lot for your great support.

Regards,
Gerd
