From e876a8a7e9dd89dc88c12ca2e81beb478dbe9897 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mick Tarsel Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2017 13:53:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ibmvnic: Set state UP State is initially reported as UNKNOWN. Before register call netif_carrier_off(). Once the device is opened, call netif_carrier_on() in order to set the state to UP. Signed-off-by: Mick Tarsel Signed-off-by: David S.
