The RTL8150 driver currently crashes the kernel if the USB lead is unplugged
while the device is active. The attached patch adds error handling to
tell the network layer that the device has gone away when the device is
unplugged. With this patch, the device can be plugged and unplugged
to one's hearts' content, without crashing anything.
Oh, I've also added rudimentary suspend and resume methods.
