I am not so sure about the intentional behavior. It disconnects and reconnects when you try to configure the dial-up modem as well. Of course, the dial-up modem configuration does not work in system->admin->network and that's another issue, but trying to configure it should not cause the ethernet connection to disconnect and reconnect every time.
