Thats maybe true, but printing an down event while the network will be
configured for the first time looks wrong.
And yes, I get that for other network interfaces too and fxp seems to going
down twice, but that maybe related that i use it for my pppoe session.

Joerg: Juergen Hannken-Illjes pointed out in another reply that this
message is related to one change from you to sys/dev/mii/mii_physubr.c, Rev 1.46

Hmm, if_link_state_change seems to be introduced by dyoung in rev 1.159 of
sys/net/if.c, which does contain the log function for "link state changed to".
IMHO this kind of message should be proteced by a verbose kernel option.

I'm not talking about the dmesg buffer, which is affected by MSGBUFSIZE.
