The "Detected Hardware Unit Hang" print does not indicate that the interface is dead, but that the transmitter is stalled. This can be due to an unusually high load, or a HW fault / race condition with another component, etc. When a hang is detected, the transmitter is stopped with netif_stop_queue() and eventually ndo_tx_timeout triggers a full reset to the device, which in many cases recovers it from the hang. If the hang is persistent, we try to understand the cause and debug it. Permanently marking the device as 'down' because it hung once is not going to be the optimal solution.
