Subject: [PATCH 1/2] be2net: Call netif_carier_off() after register_netdev()
Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 16:41:10 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101025111110.GA1990@emulex.com> (raw)

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.
