>Is this on the e1000 driver? Can you tell us which part you're using as well?

Driver is e1000e. Till 1.11.3 it's OK, versions 2.0.0 and later produce the 
problem.

>How are you configuring the link? Are you bringing the link down with ifdown?

Interface is configured with static IP:
$ ifconfig eth0 10.1.1.2 up

Netconsole is configured as broadcast on that interface:
$ modprobe netconsole netconsole=@/eth0,@255.255.255.255/

Link is lost by unplugging of the cable.

Event to start the problem could be plugging in the flash disk or similar 
command to:
$ echo "<8>kernel message" > /dev/kmsg
