This means it will stay unknown unless the carrier state goes to off at some point, which is not the case if the phy is already up/connected at startup. Explicitly turn off the carrier on phy attach, leaving the phy state machine to turn the carrier on when it has done the initial negotiation. Signed-off-by: Sjoerd Simons Signed-off-by: David S.
