Just an update: with the same net hardware (3c905a, Nokia ADSL hub M1122),
but with new motherboard (Abit ST6R, i815, UP), and new kernel (2.4.18pre3
and its 3c59x.c) the problem still happens:

This happens when I unplug the cable between 3c905a and M1122 and the replug
it. The link light is on at both ends, but I can't ping until I reboot.

I'm only reporting this, since I vaguely recall that Andrew said (*)
something about an IRQ fix that had went to 2.4ac that should fix this.
(Sorry I lost the original mail from Andrew) I guess it wasn't merged in
mainline before 2.4.18pre3 got out?
