that won't work. You either need to start with 2.6.20-rc5 (and pull
the changes pending merge in netdev-2.6 from Jeff Garzik),
or start
with 2.6.20-rc4-mm1 and manually apply that patch I sent out on
monday. A different combination of either of these two will not work,
as they are completely different drivers.
can you include `ethtool ethX` output of the link down message and
`ethtool -d ethX` as well? I'll need to dig up an 82572 and see
what's up with that, I've not seen that problem before.
More importantly, I suspect that *again* the issue is caused by
interrupts not arriving or getting lost.
Can you try running with MSI disabled in your kernel config?
FYI the driver gives an interrupt to signal to the driver that link
is up. no interrupt == no link detected. So that explains the symptom.
