eepro100 does not detect the link beat on NetGEAR switch FS608v2 !?

[Marc Lijour]

I got the switch working. 
However there is a problem:

(extract from #service network start)
May  9 18:45:22 router ifplugd(eth0)[28473]: ifplugd 0.21b initializing.
May  9 18:45:22 router ifplugd(eth0)[28473]: Using interface 
eth0/00:A0:C9:39:DB:80 with driver <eepro100> (version: eepro100.c:v1.09j-t

/99 Don)

beat not detected.
May  9 18:45:22 router network: Bringing up interface eth0:  failed

ifplugd monitors eth0 on this system (well, I learnt something today!).
But it fails seeing the link beat and shuts down my card.

But is works with the other card working with the 8139too driver.

May  9 18:31:41 router ifplugd(eth2)[25008]: Program executed successfully.
May  9 18:31:41 router network: Bringing up interface eth2:  succeeded


Now my next question is: how do I disable nicely ifplugd?
