When will the alternate be provided ?
In addition, more general problem which this lack of reset causes is found.
Two machine have 82576NS and each NIC is connected directly each other.
+--------+ +--------+
| | | |
| +-------+ +-------+ |
| | | | | |
|machineA|82576NS|-----------|82576NS|machineB|
| | | | | |
| +-------+ +-------+ |
| | | |
+--------+ +--------+
When attaching and detaching a cable repeatedly on one side port,
that side port becomes not link up.
This is also fixed by adding resetting phy.
