Subject: [PATCH] bnx2: Fix the behavior of ethtool when ONBOOT=no

Hi Michael

I found a little bug.

When configure in ifcfg-eth* is ONBOOT=no,
the behavior of ethtool command is wrong.

    # grep ONBOOT /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
    ONBOOT=no
    # ethtool eth2 | tail -n1
            Link detected: yes

I think "Link detected" should be "no".

The bnx2 driver should run netif_carrier_off() in initialization
until bnx2_open() is called.

The following is my patch.
It move netif_carrier_off() to bnx2_init_one().
I had already tested this patch. The result is good for me.

Could you please check the my patch ?


Best Regards,
Naohiro Ooiwa
