The only thing I am not really a fan of with this approach is that it
is essentially discarding all of the information about what the user
has configured in terms of auto-negotiation, flow-control, etc.

>From what I can tell the only physical hardware interaction is the
read of the status register. Would it be possible to just initialize
the "status" value to 0, and then only perform the read of the
register if we are not runtime suspended?

Thanks.
