  No interrupt sources are pending.
   The transmit unit state is 'Suspended'.
   The receive unit state is 'Ready'.
  This status is normal for an activated but idle interface.

Why does is say idle? I'm uploading a 1.6mb file at this point...

Very strange that autoneg is off... The only module option i have is
debug=3.



Does this tell anyone what's going on?
I'm really fuzzed about the tranciever suspended stuff.
