Hi!

The QS6612 PHY,used in SMC9432 cards is a little buggy,
i think. There are many different tricks with it, like
bad autodetection, hangup etc. So i think it's hardware bug.

The worst is that i can't reproduce your case.
However it should send ARP packet during
ifconfig tx0 inet ....

As i understood, it doesn't receive any packets
before it send something. Rigth? How does the leds
look like? And on the hub?

So it should not recieve anything after ifconfig tx0 down up
either. Can you check this?

Maybe ifconfig tx0 media .... (not autoselect) will help?

Good luck.
