I m using the e1000e driver for Intel 82574L chipset . When the cable is plugged in and Auto Negotiated , It reports as Link Detected as NO. I need to do a ifconfig up eth3 to get the Link Detected as YES .
Is this the expected behavior of the new driver - e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 2.2.14-NAPI . Is there a work around on the driver for this ? ethtool eth3 Settings for eth3: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000007 (7) Link detected: no ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel® Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
