[EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : [...] Ok, thanks for the hint.
Currently one can do 'ifconfig ethX up', check the link status, then try to DHCP or whatever. Apparently a few drivers do not support tne detection of link as presented above. So is it anything like a vendor requirement/a standard (or should it be the new right way (TM)) or does the userspace needs fixing wrt its expectation ? The lack of irq means that netif_carrier_on/off can not be reliable until the device is up. It is a bit worrying. -- Ueimor - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
