This warrants much more testing than pushing into 2.6.19-rc4 would give 
us, so I'm pulling it into #upstream.

In the past, with 10/100 hubs or ancient Cisco switches, we really 
didn't want to reset the phy and restart autonegotiation, because that 
might be problematic.

In any case, this is a behavior change that may solve problems... but 
also needs testing to insure that it doesn't also cause problems.
