With 2.6.8(.1)+the add_pin_to_irq fix we're seeing problem with link
state detection using tg3 devices. The network in question has a severe
case of cable monkeys, so the link is a bit jumpy.
From time to time the tg3's do not detect that the link is up again,
and thus has to be rebooted (ifdown/up has not been tested due to
triggerhappy non-technical on-site monkeys.)
Is this a known problem?

I forgot to mention, these are copper tg3 nic's, not fibre (I know the
fibre negatioation code has recieved some attention post-2.6.8)
