Remove FLAG_LINK_INTR because otherwiese usbnet.c will set the curruent link state to down during initialization. Currently we do not support link-state changes for SMSC95XX because the driver uses mdio/phy/irqchip infrastructure that is hard to enable. Therefore, the driver must be started with NIC whose link is up. diff --git a/drivers/net/usb/smsc95xx.c b/drivers/net/usb/smsc95xx.c index 32d2c60..bd7f0be 100644 --- a/drivers/net/usb/smsc95xx.c +++ b/drivers/net/usb/smsc95xx.c @@ -2002,7 +2002,7 @@ static const struct driver_info smsc95xx_info = { .tx_fixup = smsc95xx_tx_fixup, .status = smsc95xx_status, .manage_power = smsc95xx_manage_power, - .flags = FLAG_ETHER | FLAG_SEND_ZLP | FLAG_LINK_INTR, + .flags = FLAG_ETHER | FLAG_SEND_ZLP, }; static const struct usb_device_id products[] = {
