Hello Stephen,
I can reproduce the problem now (on mac mini). Interestingly it seems
to whack the whole ethernet switch when it happens.
wow. I have Linksys wrt54g has 'ethernet switch' and my Snom 320 VoIP
phone still works when the mini network card goes down. On the other
side the wrt54g isn't exactly a switch but more like a bunch of network
cards which use the linux bridging code IIRC.
If you do:
ethtool -r eth0
it cause a PHY reset (renegotiation) and clears the problem.
But this isn't related to my problen (on mac mini), is it?
Thomas
