From 12b56ea89e70d4b04f2f5199750310e82894ebbd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eilon Greenstein Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2008 16:46:40 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: Calling netif_carrier_off at the end of the probe netif_carrier_off was called too early at the probe. In case of failure or simply bad timing, this can cause a fatal error since linkwatch_event might run too soon. Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein Signed-off-by: David S.
