Well, keep in mind that this driver is for an ethernet virtual NIC that is actually remote across another network (an InfiniBand fabric) -- so these devices can actually appear or disappear at random times by their nature. It's a similar issue to, say, a USB ethernet adapter presents -- there's no sane way to have operstate set for a device that hasn't been attached yet. - R. _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
