It gets re-enabled. If you explicitly do a setpci in the boot process to turn ASPM off on the interface, after doing your 'ip link up' and routing initialization, by the end of the boot process ASPM is back on again. I speculate that the stabilization of the interface (as indicated by the link-enabled message) has somehow flipped ASPM on, but I have no actual evidence for when this re-enabling happens. I just know it does. -- NULL && (void) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
