After posting my previous reply, it occurred to me to suggest that running
the softset utility, and making sure that the connector (AUI/BNC/TP) is
explicitly set and not set to autodetect might be worth doing, as the link
flags for this driver (used to?) relate to selecting the media. If you're
connecting via a switch, it might not be negotiating reliably.
