Unfortunalety I must report an issue. Yesterday I had after several 
weeks of fine running:
Mar 19 17:59:08 <kern.crit> moon kernel: sk0: watchdog timeout
Mar 19 17:59:08 <kern.notice> moon kernel: sk0: link state changed to DOWN

The problem is not the watchdog timeout message itself, but that the 
links goes down. Fortunately I have in my crontab still a "safety 
belt", calling every 12 minutes
(ifconfig sk0 | fgrep active >/dev/null) || (ifconfig sk0 down; ifconfig sk0 up; ifconfig sk0)

So the system could recover without user interaction:
Mar 19 18:12:01 <kern.notice> moon kernel: sk0: link state changed to UP
Mar 19 18:12:01 <kern.crit> moon kernel: sk0: phy failed to come ready

Regards,
   Frank
