If there was a link-mode change (100-to-10-base, 1/2 to full duplex) OR if the chip status overflowed (tx packets, rx, packets, errors, etc) OR if the transmitter aborted (unplug when active, etc.) THEN reset and reprogram the chip (after telling you something wicked happened IF verbose debug is enabled).
You can turn OFF verbose debug (set debug to 1) and you won't have the message.
