The day after you posted your question asking about this issue, a friend called me up... (loosely quoted) "What's up with the fxp driver? I just setup a box, and it keeps dropping off the net. I have to ifconfig down / ifconfig up it to bring it back to life." I sent him a similar patch to try, but unfortunately the problem stopped repeating itself. :( I'll probably go ahead and make this change to other network drivers I can test soon.
