Hi all...
I have two little problem with current cooker initscripts.
- /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions::check_link_down() has
a fixed timeout of 2 secs to wait the link getting up. I had to increase
this to 3 o 4 to make my sis900 (eth on laptop) initalize correctly. With
the default sleep, the card was reported as 'link down, check cable'.
I will try to mess with bash and post a patch to turn it into a loop with a
number of tries (10) for 'ip link set up' with 1 sec sleep in each.
- This damned sis900 is capable to talk to the cablemodem at FullDX, but
the autonegotiation does not work. I forced a /sbin/mii-tool -F 10baseT-FD
in the same function as above. This can be a 'popular' scenario. Could
you add a new variable, such as MIIFLAGS, in ifconfig-eth0, so as to do
/sbin/mii-tool $MIIFLAGS >/dev/null 2>&1 || return 1
to override defaults, or force non autodetected options ?
TIA
