I installed the new kernel into an existing Ubuntu 11.10 installation (having nothing else on hand) and the problem still occurs. At boot /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier reads "1" despite having no cable. Plugging and unplugging the cable corrects the problem. uname -a reports that I'm using the new kernel (previous one was 3.0.0-17)
~$ uname -a Linux autoauction 3.2.0-23-omap #36~lp981966 Mon Apr 23 08:24:56 UTC 2012 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux (Not sure if dumping this new kernel into an Ubuntu 11.10 image was correct; system seems a bit unstable. Let me know if there's a better procedure to follow as I don't normally swap kernels around like this.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/981966 Title: Beagleboard XM: sysfs always reports link present for eth0 at boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/981966/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
