Hi Fabrice.  No, this wasn't during suspending, but under normal
use, plugged into AC or on good battery power with no apm events.
The only pattern I can see is it seems to be when the interface is
under heavier load, but otherwise it seems to be spontaneous.

I did see this happening on suspend too, as you note, when I first
installed the module: I prevent this now with apm suspend and resume
scripts which shut down the network and rmmod/modprobe the module.
