*spleen* It's a genuine code move without any real change. Imho it's more a matter of sleeping a few seconds for the link to settle after the device is brought up. The differences between the top-most r8169 driver you tried and the real v3.5.4 r8169 driver are minor : mostly Ben Grear's corrupted frames rx work (default: disabled) and a skb_timestamp which comes too late in your setup. So, either your problem lacks of reproducibility with 3.5.4 - cold reboot, driver which does not fail the first time - or it needs something else in the kernel to happen. The "PME# disabled" messages have disappeared between 2.6 and 3.5.4 in your dmesg. It's probably due to a dev_dbg/dev_printk + CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG change. It's still worth checking runtime pm settings though Can you check the content of /sys/class/pci_bus/0000:02/power, set it to "on" if it contains "auto" and plug the cable again (with 3.5.4) ? -- Ueimor -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
