Isn't it about time that we think about _not_ stopping the ethernet device after every transaction? Why not initialize it for the first transfer and stop it once we boot a kernel? For USB for example we do just that. Sorry for not providing a concrete patch, but I felt it is worthwhile to throw that thought into the discussion as it pops up more and more often nowadays. For example usb-cdc which currently deregisters the network device on the host side after _every_ transfer....
