Interesting.  I suspect v2.6.35-rc1~473^2~251 (e1000e: Reset
82577/82578 PHY before first PHY register read, 2010-05-05) was meant
to address this problem.  Alas:

Could you report this to e1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, cc-ing
Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@intel.com>, Pete Zaitcev
<zaitcev@redhat.com>, and Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> and
either cc this bug log or send the message-id?

Alternatively, if you like the sourceforge bugtracker interface, a
report at the bug tracker under Tracker → Bugs at
<http://e1000.sf.net/> (sending us the bug number) would also work.

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan
