I have been seeing some errors that could be autonegotiation failing, they haven't been enough for me to ge the time to track them down (and I was putting them down to cisco switch config issues anyway) I'll have to double check.
correction on version numbers.
2.4.5-pre1 worked, 2.4.5 has driver 0.9-15-pre2 and fails, I guess I hadn't tested properly with 2.4.8, compiling now with drivers/net from 2.4.4.
when it locks up the reset works immediatly, power takes a few seconds to shutdown.
