Hello,

Recently we experienced some issues with intel NIC (I219-LM and I219-V).
It seems that after a wire reconnection, auto-negotation "fails" and
link speed drips to 10 Mbps.

>From kernel logs:
[17616.346150] e1000e: enp0s31f6 NIC Link is Down

Notice that if disconnection last less than about 5 seconds,
nothing wrong happens.
And if after last failure, disconnection / connection occurs again and
last less than 5 seconds, link speed is back to 1000 Mbps.

[18078.716245] e1000e: enp0s31f6 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None

The following patch seems to fix this issue.
However I don't clearly understand why.

 	case e1000_media_type_copper:
 		if (hw->mac.get_link_status) {
 			ret_val = hw->mac.ops.check_for_link(hw);
-			link_active = !hw->mac.get_link_status;
+			link_active = false;
 		} else {
 			link_active = true;
 		}

Maybe this is related to watchdog task.

I've found out this fix by comparing with last commit that works fine :
commit 0b76aae741abb9d16d2c0e67f8b1e766576f897d.
However I don't know if this information is relevant.

Thank you.
