Hi Michael,
I'm working on a system that has two on-board 5708's. We've noticed
that it takes about 3 seconds for the link to come up - is this
considered normal? I've tried this with the latest davem tree with
similar results to older kernels/drivers.
# uname -r
2.6.24
# ethtool -i eth3
driver: bnx2

# ip link set eth3 up; mii-tool eth3; sleep 1; mii-tool eth3; sleep 1;
mii-tool eth3; sleep 1; mii-tool eth3
eth3: no link
eth3: no link
eth3: no link
eth3: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
Other drivers I've tried - e1000 and tg3, get up in < 1 second. I'm
asking becuase any packet I try to transmit out this interface before
link-up never gets out.
Thanks for any info,
-Brian
