You definitely have a very good point here. I was a bit surprised during debugging that the link state is not consistently initialized and by far not enforced across all of the drivers. Admittedly I checked the most commonly deployed devices and they are in good state. I certainly appreciate your patience on this one and will try to get it resolved quickly. -- Qing _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
