OK, that worked:

	$ ethtool -A eth0 rx off tx off autoneg off
	$ ethtool -a eth0
	Pause parameters for eth0:
	Autonegotiate:  off
	RX:             off
	TX:             off

I will report back as soon as another failure happens, or doesn't
happen.  :-)  Thanks.

Oh, I guess I am not sure how I could test that easily.
