From 63a76944b674bb758232e4213da0da95ae055012 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Somnath Kotur Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 01:11:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] be2net: Call netif_carier_off() after register_netdev() Calling netif_carrier_off before register_netdev was causing the network interface to miss a linkwatch pending event leading to an inconsistent state if the link is not up when interface is initialized.This is now invoked after register_netdev.
