The system.log frequently report '[ALXEthernet] Hardware Error: error when
reset mac', then the network go down and system go hang.
My build is with Z77-DS3H (1.0) board which is based on atheros ethernet.
My driver is ALXEthernet 1.0.2 (from multibeast 5.2.1), but it frequently show
error to me, and usually make the network interface down or system hang.
The situation is very poor, even I can not finish a whole progress of
TimeMachine Backup ( about 110G bytes ). Each time, the progress reaches
30G~40G, the system should hang.
The error log is below:

kirbyzhou@KirbyPro:~ $
AtherosL1cEthernet-1.2.3 seems much more stable than ALXEthernet-1.0.2 on my
build.
