Your customers will not necessarily like it but it could be useful to
trace the Rx/Tx descriptor ring content and the irq status word.

If your make it dependent on tp->msg_enable (settable via
'ethtool -s ethX msglvl 65535), you can enable it at will and catch
some bit of normal traffic just before you experiment with the
magic cable.

Actually I lack a reliable indication that the Tx process is stuck.
My hack seems able to recover but it can be quite slow to trigger.
A contact at SiS would be welcome.
