Alvarion stuff is bad for this, particularly when used in conjunction
with Cisco switches. The most recent Cisco firmware just makes the
problem worse, because if you specify the speed and duplex settings on
the switch, it will fall back to auto/auto if it loses its connection.
Like, for instance, when you reboot the wireless bridge...
