I was able to reproduce the problem and identify the commit that broke the
resume of forcedeth, which turned out to be:

commit cb52deba12f27af90a46d2f8667a64888118a888
Author: Ed Swierk <eswierk@arastra.com>
Date:   Mon Dec 1 12:24:43 2008 +0000

    forcedeth: power down phy when interface is down

    Tested-by: Arthur Jones <ajones@riverbed.com>
    Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
    Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Since I have no slightest idea of what this commit is supposed to achieve,
I can only ask for reverting it.  It reverts cleanly, BTW.

Thanks,
Rafael
