Hi.
If someone has te vte (r6040 chip) network interface please, test this diff.
It solves problems like these:
> First, it seems that dhclient don't work on vte.
> Second, it seems vte looses network after minute(s) of inactivity
> (machine don't responds to ping etc).
> Network restores when I type "ifconfig vte inet..." from console. Ssh
> session may be restored too.
> When "tcpdump -ni vte0" running in background
> 1) dhclient works
> 2) network connections stays stable
