Subject: Re: tg3: link is permanently down after ifdown and ifup

Hi,

The problem goes away if I remove the call to

tg3_set_power_state(tp, PCI_D3hot);

from tg3_close().

Some relevant stuff from dmesg:

pci 0002:05:00.0: PME# supported from D3hot D3cold
pci 0002:05:00.0: PME# disabled
tg3.c:v3.102 (September 1, 2009)
tg3 0002:05:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
tg3 0002:05:00.0: PME# disabled
tg3 mdio bus: probed
eth2: Tigon3 [partno(BCM57760) rev 57780001] (PCI Express) MAC address 
00:10:18:00:00:00
eth2: attached PHY driver [Broadcom BCM57780] (mii_bus:phy_addr=500:01)
eth2: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1]
eth2: dma_rwctrl[76180000] dma_mask[64-bit]

Is my problem related to hardware or it's a tg3 driver bug ?

Thanks a lot.

Felix.
