Re: Late Broadcom link detection makes IP config (bootp) fail

Some of GMAC initialisation seems to be delayed and done asynchronously.
Shouldn't link be detected and the interface brought up before return
from the init function? Otherwise it is impossible to use this driver
with IP autoconfig and NFS root.
It's not supposed to be synchronous. It's ipconfig's fault not to wait
long enough.

Ben.
