retitle 619520 eth0 is not activated early enough, causing a delay in the Ethernet detection severity 619520 wishlist thanks
After some tests, it appears that the 2-second delay before running ethtool was too short here. Though increasing the delay works (I now test the link each second, and it is detected after 3 seconds), it's a bit annoying, and I think the kernel should do something about it early in the boot sequence. Indeed there are more than 3 seconds between the beginning of the boot and the network[*] is started (just after which the "ifconfig eth0 up" is performed).
