Hello,

I have an issue with the MSK nic driver under 8-stable. problem is
that during the kernel boot the link status changes couple of times.
I'm experimenting with iscsi boot at the moment and just before  iscsi
is scanning for luns the interface link status changes from up to down
and back to up about 1s later. This is enough for iscsi to loose
connection with the disk.

FXP nic works great and can boot from iscsi lun tho.


this there a way to fix this?


greets
Matthias
