Subject: RE: [PATCH 5/6] net: thunderx: Switchon carrier only upon interface
 link up

 Hello!

 This one causes the network to stop working on Fedora 21. Probably has to do with NetworkManager, which sees something unexpected.
IP address is never set up and connection is never activated, despite it has UP flag.

Kind regards,
