The port does not pass traffic until I rmmod/modprobe the driver or 
reset the whole system, it doesn't recover by itself. "[784081.605984] 
tg3: eth0: Link is down." is the last message I see.

I'll send you the lspci output as soon as it happens again.

I'm not exactly sure about that, as nowadays there is nothing connected 
to it anymore. However, when the problem first occured there was, and 
I'm pretty sure the second port was okay.
