From 3a6d1bc4163fee27c312184d5f1a9cc1e110d300 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesse Brandeburg Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 20:44:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ixgb: fix link down initial state As reported by Andrew Lutomirski All the intel wired ethernet drivers were calling netif_carrier_off and netif_stop_queue (or variants) before calling register_netdevice This is incorrect behavior as was pointed out by davem, and causes ifconfig and friends to report a strange state before first link after the driver was loaded, since without a netif_carrier_off, the stack assumes carrier_on, but before register_netdev, netlink messages are not sent out telling link state. This apparently confused *some* versions of networkmanager. in addition this driver appeared to need a netif_start_queue at the end of open.
