r8169: perform a PHY reset before any other operation at boot time
This warrants much more testing than pushing into 2.6.19-rc4 would give
us, so I'm pulling it into #upstream.
In the past, with 10/100 hubs or ancient Cisco switches, we really
didn't want to reset the phy and restart autonegotiation, because that
might be problematic.
In any case, this is a behavior change that may solve problems... but
also needs testing to insure that it doesn't also cause problems.
