All of the modules which have overcurrent trip are going to get this
functionality.

Timing:

The base unit firmware is getting a (hopefully) final release based on the
current code.  This code is ready and just needs to be packaged for
release.  This final release fixes a issue where the base unit Ethernet
locks up, causing a software deadlock followed by a watchdog reboot.  The
trigger is bad packets being received, usually as a result of a duplex
mismatch.

Once that is done, there will be a early adopter chain released for both
the base unit and expansion modules.  There are added capabilities being
added to the system which makes the auto reset functionality much easier to
implement.  For example, the expansion modules will be keeping track of the
length of time since the last change, which equates to the time since the
last trip.  This information will be available via the web and via snmp.
The code we have written for this also includes the auto reset
functionality.   This actually isn't that far out as most of it is done, we
just ended up needing to track down this other bug once we were able to
reproduce it in house, and then backport it to the current release without
all the new experimental stuff in it.
