Okay, after rmmod and insmod I was able to reproduce it again. Should have
tried that right away, silly me.

here it is:

before mii-diag -R:

root@babbage:/root/3c59x>mii-diag -R 
Using the default interface 'eth0'.
Resetting the transceiver...
Basic registers of MII PHY #24:  3100 7849 2000 5c01 01e1 0000 0000 0000.
 Basic mode control register 0x3100: Auto-negotiation enabled.
 Basic mode status register 0x7849 ... 7849.
   Link status: not established.

(nothing happens after that)

and after mii-diag -R:

root@babbage:/root/3c59x>mii-diag -w             
Using the default interface 'eth0'.
Basic registers of MII PHY #24:  3100 786d 2000 5c01 01e1 0021 0000 0000.
 Basic mode control register 0x3100: Auto-negotiation enabled.
 You have link beat, and everything is working OK.
 Your link partner is generating 10baseT link beat  (no autonegotiation).
23:55:40.1073834  Baseline value of MII BMSR (basic mode status register)
is 786d.
23:55:43.1073834  MII BMSR now 7849:   no link, NWay busy, No Jabber
(0021).
23:55:47.1073834  MII BMSR now 7869:   no link, NWay done, No Jabber
(0021).
   New link partner capability is 0021 0000: 10baseT.
23:55:47.1073834  MII BMSR now 786d: Good link, NWay done, No Jabber
(0021).
