IIRC the same problem occours with 8139cp [on 2.6.0-test2] !!!
Where? 8139cp definitely shuts down the hardware during _close.

static int cp_close (struct net_device *dev) { struct cp_private *cp = dev->priv;
if (netif_msg_ifdown(cp)) printk(KERN_DEBUG "%s: disabling interface\n", dev->name);
netif_stop_queue(dev); netif_carrier_off(dev);
spin_lock_irq(&cp->lock); cp_stop_hw(cp); spin_unlock_irq(&cp->lock);
free_irq(dev->irq, dev); cp_free_rings(cp); return 0; }
