Hi Emil,
Thanks a lot for the tip.. It worked perfectly for "normal" 3 e1000 interface
present on the box. Also due to this drill, I was able to see where in driver
code, due to WOL, interface is not coming down completely...:).
However in this box we have something called as "bypass", as evident by this
proc entry...
***************************************************************************************
***10.10.10.10# cat /proc/net/bypass/bypass_eth1/bypass
off
***************************************************************************************
And this is the interface that is not coming down completely. Router still
thinks its connected.
I thought may be if I take it out of bypass it will work, but no luck.. Any
ideas/suggestion/comments on what could be missing..?
Thanks again for helping
Dp
