Kristian didn't reply to the mailing list but if you check e1000-bugs you'll 
see he resolved his issues. I'm still not clear on what the problem was, but 
you can check there for more details.

In any case, I'm guessing your problem isn't the same as his problem. I think I 
asked him to try a different distro and I don't think he did that. I'm still 
not convinced this isn't a problem with OpenWRT but then again you've never 
said what OS you're running. If it is OpenWRT, have you tried a different 
distro?

Subject: C2758 i354 link issue

Hi,

I'm having the same problem as Kristian is with his igb link issue.  I also 
have a different machine with an i210 card in it, that also has the same issue 
on Linux ONLY.  FreeBSD works fine.
It's about 40% chance on boot that the issue will happen (but I did find a 
workaround).  I believe it's something to do with auto-negotiation code.  I can 
either unplug/replug the cable and it will come back up, or I can force the 
link speed/duplex and it will bring the link back up when the issue is 
triggered.
