Hi Stephan,

What I noticed is that if you load the driver while the cable is unplugged,
and then plug it, the MII status says the link is still down.
Unfortunately, the only e100 I have access to are in prod at a customer's
and I really cannot make tests there.

You have to bring the interface 'UP' before it will detect link,
with something like:  ifconfig eth2 up

Could that be the problem?

Hi Ben,

the situation is like this (exactly this works flawlessly with tulip):

- unplug all interfaces from the switches
- reboot box
- plug in _one_ interface 
- log into the box (yes, network works flawlessly)
- start keepalived
- now plug in rest of the interfaces
- watch keepalived do _nothing_ (seems no UP event shows up)

in comparison to:

- let all interfaces plugged in
- reboot box
- log in
- start keepalived
- watch it work as expected

Regards,
Stephan
