Subject: phylib does not wait for link
Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2012 09:46:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121024074615.GU27665@pengutronix.de> (raw)

The current phylib behaviour is unusable for unattended network boot, we
need to do something about it.

We currently have no instance that would wait until a link comes up.
This may work for the default-3-seconds-boot-timeout which is enough for
most phys, but fails with smaller timeouts.

There are several places in which we could wait for a link to come up, I
have no idea which one is the best:

- eth_send
- phylib
- in the protocols (dhcp, ping, ...)

Anyway, this deserves fixing before the next release.

Sascha
