[ofa-general] Re: [PATCH 26/28] IB/ipath - print warning if LID not acquired and link ACTIVE within one minute

[Arthur Jones]

sorry to have missed the fun.

does this mean that there's a patch pending
to remove the gazillion link down messages
in drivers/net?

anyway, do we want it in the IB midlayer?  i'd
definitely like it somewhere, user space is a bit
cumbersome for a such a simple check...
