Hi Alex,
(Sent a 2nd time, this time with "Reply to all" and without HTML, so
that it hits the kernel archives as well. Sorry for the noise.

It turns on differently. Before I remove the cable, the LED on the TP
LINK "TL SG-108" was green. After removing the cable, the LED went off.
After reinserting the cable, it became orange after some while.
Green LED means 1000 MB/s, orange LED means 10/100 MB/s.
I have a different, even older switch: "Allnet ALL8039". Here the same:
the switch detects a link, but igb not.

One thing that is interesting is how igb reacts to ethtool inquiries
once it goes into the failed state. You inquired for "ethtool -i eth0",
but in the failed state I only get this:
Cannot restart autonegotiation: No such device
But eth0 is of course still there, "ip -d link show eth0" shows:
2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN
mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000

Other ethtool commands also don't report any information once the link
went bogus. Here one output from "ethtool eth0":

I'm willing to pepper the source with printk, if this helps :-)
