weird, since that kernel turn off the NIC at boot time - please try this one: http://people.canonical.com/~ppisati/lp981966/linux- image-3.2.0-23-omap_3.2.0-23.36~lp981966dbg_armel.deb
then do a "dmesg | grep usbnet", and you should see: flag@flag-desktop:~$ dmesg | grep usbnet [ 14.624908] usbnet_probe::1323 [ 14.829833] usbnet_probe::1462 netif_carrier_off() [ 14.829833] usbnet_probe::1465 do this with and without the cable, examine '/sys/class/net/eth0/carrier' in both cases and report the results. Installing a new kernel on an old release is not a problem (and that's what backports do). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/981966 Title: Beagleboard XM: sysfs always reports link present for eth0 at boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/981966/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
