Here is the bisect log , just in case :

d2394e6bb1aa636f3bd142cb6f7845a4332514b5 is first bad commit
commit d2394e6bb1aa636f3bd142cb6f7845a4332514b5
Author: Matt Carlson <mcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Wed Nov 24 08:31:47 2010 +0000

    tg3: Always turn on APE features in mac_mode reg
    
    The APE needs certain bits in the mac_mode register to be enabled for
    traffic to flow correctly.  This patch changes the code to always enable
    these bits in the presence of the APE.
