We've been using eCos for 10 years, and we've never found it
necessary to restart eCos (or the network stack, or anything
else) when the Ethernet link goes down/up.

Again, I've never seen that. We connect/disconnect Ethernet
cables all the time, and never have to restart anything.
We do have code in our Ethernet drivers that makes sure that
the Ethernet MAC duplex setting is changed to match the PHY's
negotiation results when a cable is plugged in, but I don't
think that has anything to do with what you're talking about.
