This may be caused by bugs in early versions of bootcode or PXE code. When tg3 powers down the PHY during shutdown, the MAC address will become zero in the MAC address register. The PXE code or bootcode needs to fetch the MAC address again from The NVRAM. Can you also send me ethtool -i eth0 which will provide the bootcode version? What machine are you using?
