Patch: link state detection for 8139too against 2.5.41

[Stefan Rompf <srompf@xxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,

attached you find a patch that enables link state detection for the
8139too driver. It applies cleanly against 2.5.41 and with some line
offset against 2.4.19.

I've written this stuff on a friends' computer using 2.4.18, so it is
only slightly tested.

Cheers, Stefan
