... which it doesn't - the connection is lost, and the hardware continually
tries and fails to re-establish it. I can at least get a 10baseT/full
connection with help from ethtool, but trying to send anything over it fails;
switching back to r1000 (and forcing the connection speed) gets things
working again, though a reboot seems to be needed to get auto-negotiation of
higher speeds working again (note that it's limited to 100baseT/full; I
have nothing else capable of 1000baseT).

That appears to make no difference.
