Fwd: [PATCH 01/22] usb gadget: fix ethernet link reports to ethtool

[David Brownell]

Hmm, I should probably try to cc netdev on some of these
patches.  They're fairly infrequent any more, but...

Likewise, it'd be good to get cc'd from netdev on patches
that affect drivers/usb/gadget ... I was very recently
surprised to see a "phonet" driver just appear.

The g_ether USB gadget driver currently decides whether or not there's a
link to report back for eth_get_link based on if the USB link speed is
set. The USB gadget speed is however often set even before the device is
enumerated. It seems more sensible to only report a "link" if we're
actually connected to a host that wants to talk to us. The patch below
does this for me - tested with the PXA27x UDC driver.

David, want me to add this patch to net-2.6?

No, it's already gone to Linus and merged.  This was just a FYI.

Ok, thanks David.
