Maybe so, however the kernel documentation [1] says the NIC must be up first.
I've uploaded dmesg output from a successful boot and two photos; one photo shows a freeze when booting debian stable (squeeze) with kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64, the other one shows the end of a segfault when booting debian testing (wheezy) linux 3.2.0-3-amd64: http://ra.openbios.org/~idwer/x60_1707cto/
