The "3c59x: use mii_check_media" patch introduced a netif_carrier_off in vortex_up. 10base2 stoped working because of this. This is removed. Tx/Rx reset is back in vortex_up because the 3c900B-Combo stops working after changing from half duplex to full duplex when Tx/Rx reset is done with vortex_timer. Also brought back some mii stuff to be sure that I does not break something else. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
