r8169 excessive PHY reset

On my r8169 (Really 8110S, I think -- it's a MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R, running x86_64), 
if I unplug the network cable and reconnect it, the link stays down and the 
driver starts resetting the PHY at an absurd rate (many times per second).

Strangely enough, simply removing all the PHY reset code fixes it.  Is there any 
reason for this code?  (The other end of my link is e1000, and I'm using 1000Mbps.)

Patch against 2.6.5-mm5 (attached because my mailer will mangle it otherwise).
