I have had better luck with the following fcc_enet.c patch (against the ELDK
2.4.4 kernel):
~
1.) In static void mii_display_status(struct net_device *dev):
if (!fep-link !fep-old_link) {
/* Link is still down - don't print anything */
return;
}
printk(%s: status: , dev-name);
if (!fep-link) {
+netif_carrier_off(dev);
printk(link down);
} else {
+netif_carrier_on(dev);
printk(link up);
switch(s PHY_STAT_SPMASK) {
~
2.) In fcc_enet_open(struct net_device *dev):
mii_do_cmd(dev, fep-phy-startup);
#ifdef CONFIG_PM826
/* Read the autonegotiation results */
mii_do_cmd(dev, fep-phy-ack_int);
mii_do_cmd(dev, phy_cmd_relink);
#endif /* CONFIG_PM826 */
+if (fep-link) {
+netif_carrier_on(dev);
+} else {
+netif_carrier_off(dev);
+}
netif_start_queue(dev);
return 0; /* Success */
}
return -ENODEV; /* No PHY we understand */
#else
fep-link = 1;

This communicates the link status to the kernel TCP/IP stack. Obviously, this
assumes that MDIO is working!

I met the same problem in CPM driver, and there could be many
solutions. I think the right place to fix is the fec driver.
The fec driver registers interrupt handler during the
initialization not when the device is opened, so it may
receive packets even the device is not up and running (also
before the network subsystem is initialized) My fix was to
ignore the received packets if the driver is not opened.
