Hi, thanks for the input. I have a couple of questions. Why do you need this? Basically this was a design decision in our driver to not report link when we haven't had a chance to initialize it (when the interface is brought up) Unless you can give me a really good reason or precendent in the kernel to change our design decision, I don't think this change is worth it.
