That said, as I think I know the problem, can you try this patch to see
if it fixes things. This patch is a TOTAL HACK! Not for inclusion. It's
racy and buggy. I didn't even compile it because I couldn't get the
configs to enable FEC, and I was too lazy to set up my cross compiler to
test it. ;-)
Yes, this hack fixes things as long as I boot with the Ethernet cable plugged in. In
this case the autonegotiation is launched and fec_enet_start_xmit() waits until it
completes. From then on, the hack never triggers again (comp_set is 0) and
disconnecting-reconnecting the cable or asking for a new DHCP address seems to work
normally.
If I boot with the cable disconnected the driver seems to be trapped at the
wait_for_completion() and connecting the cable later simply doesn't allow the
autonegotiation to complete.
