No, I missed the part where the interface goes down :-)

Well, I don't want to contradict you, but I am proud of my memory 
(when I'm sure that it functions :-)). This is from the kernel driver:

   LK1.1.9 12 Sep 2000 andrewm
    .....
    - Fixed a bug where, if vp->tx_full is set when the interface
      is downed, it remains set when the interface is upped.  Bad
      things happen.

So I was right about the fix, but wrong about the time :-)
