On a Lenovo ThinkCentre M93z I have the following issue:
When the network cable is not connected at power on time and plugged
in later, then the driver does not receive any packets. The DHCP TX
packets are received by the DHCP server, but the answer gets lost in
the 217-LM.
If I plug the network cable before power on, the chip works perfectly
fine.
I'm running latest mainline. ethtool -i output is:
driver: e1000e
version: 2.3.2-k
firmware-version: 0.12-4
bus-info: 0000:00:19:0
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: yes
supports-eeprom-access: yes
supports-register-dump: yes
supports-priv-flags: no
ethtool -S shows all counters 0 except tx_packets, tx_bytes and
tx_multicast in the bad case

The output is identical for the good and the bad case except for the
MSI interrupt number, but thats related to the init ordering and not a
functional issue. The bios does not give out the MSI irq numbers.

dmesg is identical as well.
So it looks like the BIOS is setting something up, when the cable is
plugged at power on time, which is not visible through our debug
output.
Anything else you want me to try?
Thanks,
