I usually get the initial "link down" message, followed by a "link up"
message, and things proceed normally.  However, I have occasionally
seen, on one of the 355 evm boards that we have, that the link goes down
and stays down, but will recover when I unplug and replug the cable.  I
just attributed it to an issue we have with our current network layout
(the evm has several old switches and lots of cat-5 cable between it and a
flaky router/dhcp server).  Since we don't need enet for the system we are
building, I just ignored the problem.

Are you saying that your network (sometimes) doesn't come up, or were
you just not expecting to see the initial "link down" message?
