I got my laptop back up and found the messages logged:

kernel: r8169: eth0: Reset RTL8169s PHY

I didn't see exactly at what point this started happening during the 
shutdown, but the message repeated about 500 times before the system 
logger was stopped.

Again, I've had no issues so far during normal use.  There are no abnormal 
timeouts, and transfer rates appear within normal ranges.  (I've only used 
it on 100bT switches so far, no 10bT or gigabit.)

I meant to, but must have hit no when Pine asked about replying to all 
recipients.

Not a problem at all.  I'm just glad to finally get this thing working!
