I somehow doubt that taking an interface down and back up would fix
problems with a flaky transciever. I'd tend to assume that whatever is
going on is actually happening with the DEQNA (though that does not
imply that it is a normal thing... the DEQNA could be failing).

Well, I'm not a DEQNA expert. :-( However, if this keeps annoying me
I'll check it out.
