Hi All,
 I'm having a problem with my e1000 cards intermittently shutting down.
This is happening across multiple cards, on multiple systems. I get the
following messages in the syslog at the time:
 
Aug 26 22:58:36 ElizaQOS kernel: e1000: eth13: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link
is Down

ethtool and mii-tool both show a different status for the affected port:
---
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo mii-tool -v eth13

        Transceiver: internal
        Auto-negotiation: on

The port can be brought up by issuing this command:
 
ethtool -s eth13 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on

which I assume simply restarts autonegotiation.  Turning off autoneg and
setting the speed/duplex doesn't seem to help.
 
This is on a Debian 2.6.18 kernel. lspci and lspci -t attached.
 
Any ideas what might be happening?
