Bug#418879: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64: forcedeth lockup

[root <alister.winfield@uk.easynet.net>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12
Severity: important

The driver locks up and it would appear to be most likely if there is a network problem 
such as a miss-configured switch giving a duplex miss-match.

It complains about not resetting something tx side if you attempt to down/up the interface.
