oh jolly, i think it worked!

eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 01462:0250 bound to 0000:00:05.0
netconsole: device eth0 not up yet, forcing it
eth0: no link detected by phy - falling back to 10HD.
eth0: no link during initialization.
eth0: nv_update_linkspeed: PHY advertises 0x0de1, lpa 0x41e1.
eth0: changing link setting from 66536/0 to 65636/1.
eth0: link up.
netconsole: network logging started
[...]
eth0: nv_update_linkspeed: PHY advertises 0x0de1, lpa 0x41e1.
...

the last line gets repeated a couple of times, that must be the printk you
enabled.

thank you!
