Hi,
Think i got something working for me at least, and the fix is quite
minimal and only downside that i could see from it was that you might
get a small delay when bringing up the interface, but that's probably
better than getting a non-functional interface that reports that it's up.
The fix seems to be quite simple with just a random sleep at the end
of "tg3_setup_fiber_by_hand():"
tw32_f(MAC_MODE, tp->mac_mode);
udelay(40);
}
out:
udelay( net_random() % 400 );
return current_link_up;
}
Not sure that this is a good fix or if it might break on other
systems, but maybe you could have a quick look at that?
Regards,
Patric

Last update on this.
"udelay( 100 + net_random % 300 )" seems to work much better and i have
not had a single problem getting the link up within 10 seconds of a cold
or warm-boot, and most often the link comes up directly without any sort
of delay instead like before when it could hang for 30 seconds before
getting a link, if you even got a link.
