Hello,

I have few supermicro machines connected to edge-core switch using 1Gbps uplink.
The problem is that after boot I have to restart net to get network card pass traffic. The problem
is only with forcedeth network cards. It happens on different supermicro servers and it happens
for as far as I can remember (so, 2.6.3x kernels, too). Currently I'm on 3.0.13.

Logs below show state after fresh boot where network traffic doesn't get through.
Note that it shows that link is up but still - traffic doesn't get passed. tcpdump on eth0
interface sees only traffic initiated from this server and no traffic from outside.

Tried to set every offload (via ethtool -K) to off but that didn't help.

I have to make:
ip link set eth0 down; ip link set eth0 up
wait few second and then traffic starts to get passed. When I do that this shows in dmesg:
[ 1058.266480] forcedeth 0000:00:08.0: irq 40 for MSI/MSI-X
[ 1069.163238] eth0: no IPv6 routers present

(CC to few people shown by get_maintainer.pl)

LOGS/OUTPUTs from non working state after fresh boot.

One more note. This doesn't always happens like that. Sometimes I boot
and I get link working, traffic gets passed fine:
