Hello,
I was wondering I could get some help understanding the igc/i225 combo.
The issue I'm having is during boot-time, the i225 fails to establish link
multiple times and it takes a long time (2.5s) for successful link up. I know
this because I enabled debug logs in igc driver. I retested this on newest
6.14.7 kernel and a few switches/routers and the result seems to be the same. Is
this behavior expected?
