From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The operation ~(p100_inb(VG_LAN_CFG_1) & HP100_LINK_UP) returns a value that is always non-zero and hence the wait for the link to drop always terminates prematurely. Fix this by using a logical not operator instead of a bitwise complement. This issue has been in the driver since pre-2.6.12-rc2.
