Mark Einon c28a613316 staging: et131x: Bugfix - driver doesn't autoreneg after cable unplug/plug events
This driver has a long standing bug where removing and inserting the ethernet cable results in no packets being
trnasmitted / received and hence no autonegotiation occurring.

Fixed by resetting the rx/tx engines and queue on detecting a cable being removed.

This is a driver for the ET1310 network device.

Based on the driver found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/et131x/

Cleaned up immensely by Olaf Hartman <o.hartmann@telovital.com> and Christoph
Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>

Note, the powermanagement options were removed from the vendor provided
driver as they did not build properly at the time.

TODO:
	- alloc_etherdev is initializing memory with zero?!?
	- add_timer call in et131x_netdev.c is correct?
	- Add power saving functionality (suspend, sleep, resume)
	- Implement a few more kernel Parameter (set mac )

Please send patches to:

And Cc: Olaf Hartmann <o.hartmann@telovital.com> as he has this device and can
test any changes.
