Hi,

Since i compiled the latest 2.6.3-mm4, without PREEMP, without SMP, and
without ACPI, my laptop is almost working flawlessly.
But, i was surprised when i unplugged the RJ45 cable, in 
/var/log/messages, i got :
[...]
Mar  2 10:48:43 pinacola kernel: r8169: eth0: Reset RTL8169s PHY
[...]

then, even if i plug the cable again, i got 
[...]
Mar  2 10:48:43 pinacola kernel: r8169: eth0: Reset RTL8169s PHY
Mar  2 10:49:14 pinacola last message repeated 2561 times
Mar  2 10:50:14 pinacola last message repeated 5084 times
Mar  2 10:50:39 pinacola last message repeated 2049 times
[...]

I could not even ping any host. i had to do a 

ifdown eth0 
ifup eth0

To be able to ping the world again.
