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
