em(4) remains in unknown link state until inserting a cable

2006-07-09 Thread Matthew R. Dempsky
On my laptop, starting at reboot and until I have inserted an ethernet cable, em(4) leaves its if_link_state as LINK_STATE_UNKNOWN. This causes problems for me because when trunk(4) is setup to use em(4) as the master port, it will not failover to the secondary port until if_link_state changes
