If memory serve me right you have Yukon EC Ultra with 88E1149 PHY,
right? CURRENT has some stability fixes but the source wouldn't be
compiled on stable/7 yet due to KPI differences. I have plan to add
some features in next week which make it possible to use HEAD
version on stable/7.
I'm not sure the patch for 88E8040 could be applied to stable/7
but the patch has some fixes for link state handling. Would you
give it try?

Note, the 88E8040 patch is not complete yet and may cause other
problems too.
