In you statement, initialise correctly (i.e. receive and transmit), did you use like ping or ftp to do it?
 

What do you mean by the word initialise?

Are you saying that after Linux has completely booted up:

1. you have one computer pinging to eth0 and you can ping eth0?

2. if eth0 is connected to the network, you use the same computer to ping eth1 and you can ping eth1?

3. while you are pinging eth1 and you disconnect eth0 from the network,you can not ping eth1?

HI,

We've run into a bit of an odd problem and we are not sure where to go and
look for the cause.

We have some 440EPx based hardware with two GIG-Ethernet ports using RGMII
and 2x ET1011C PHY's. Problem is that eth1 will only initialise correctly
(i.e. receive and transmit) if eth0 has a link. Eth0 always work OK,
regardless of eth1 status. Eth1 will work OK if eth0 has a link (i.e.
initialised) at time of setup. Once initialised, eth0 status is irrelevant.
All this is during Linux boot process.

Any ideas?

We can access PHY registers via u-boot (mii commands). Same 1Gig link speed
is used on both ports. Linux kernel is 2.6.19.
