Gabriel, I tried your suggestion and while the OS doesn't detect a link, it does send the following right after toggling the link:
e1000: set_ics 4, ICR 4, IMR 0 e1000: set_ics 4, ICR 4, IMR 0 Without diving into the intel programming guide myself does that help in any way? Perhaps it's expecting an interrupt to fire that isn't?
