the peer (mini-switch) link LED stays off, regardless of unplug/replug
of the cable, power-cycling the mini-switch, or of tweaking the
interface via:

 ip link set eth0 down
 ip link set eth0 up

However, the peer link LED turns on immediately when i do:

 modprobe -v -r atl2
 modprobe -v atl2

hope this is useful info,
