Hi Martin !
That is strange - I didn't expect that, especially as the previous code
was wrong with respect to state tracking.
Can you check whether the addresses do not have the DEtACHED flag?
You could try the dtrace script from the PR - it shows a little bit what
is going on.
There was also some mii fixing just before my patch, but I assume you
testes with reverting just
this commit.
Sorry for the issue - I have yet to find an explaination for that behavior.
Maybe comparing the dtrace outputs for both varainst can shed a light on
what happens.

Log Message:
Keep the change check invariant intact. The previous code could miss
status updates by picking up a new status different from the tested
status. This left addresses in the DETACHED state although the
link status is already UP again.

Hi Frank,
this change breaks the network on my macppc, with r1.93 it only seems to be
able to send packets, but never receives answers (ARP does not complete,
but other hosts see the ARP requests).

It is connected to a gige switch:

(which looks the same in the non-working kernel).
Any ideas how to debug?
Martin
