Ok... also, about this "max number of resets" thing, it would be useful
in fact to have a rate limit rather ... a network card that for some
reason need to be reset about once a day is still fairly useable and it
would be nice if the system didn't consider it dead after 10 days ...

Also, it might be useful to have an entry to force a retry on a card
that has been considered dead...
