I don't have my design hardware, I've bought many bbb boards and some of 
them with ethernet issues after many hours working without any problems 
link becomes down. Does the kernel with -bone60 or greater suffix is the SW 
workaround? Is the power management of the LAN chip couse the problem?

below log from kernel when problems occur:
Dec  6 14:22:17 beaglebone kernel: [709664.393005] libphy: 4a101000.mdio:00 
- Link is Down

and when no problems - at boot time:
Jan  1 01:00:13 beaglebone kernel: [    6.183325] net eth0: initializing

Jan  1 01:00:13 beaglebone kernel: [   10.333488] IPv6:

Today I'll check current kernel version of the board with ethernet issues.
