This one _looks_ easy -- you lost link beat at some point.  That's not
necessarily the problem, but might be.

Your link partner is advertising flow control.  It's possible that the
i82559 chip has paused transmission due to flow control.  I should print
the current flow control timeout as well.  Was the network exceptionally

Did the interface resume correct operation at this point?

Link beat has returned.
