When the device is unplugged or stopped, the linking status may be true, so I add additional checks to avoid the submission. Besides, in set_carrier() I set netif_carrier_on() after ops.enable() to avoid any transmission before I finish starting the tx/rx. tp->rtl_ops.enable(tp); set_bit(RTL8152_SET_RX_MODE, &tp->flags); netif_carrier_on(netdev); However, the r8152_submit_rx() would be called in ops.enable(), and the check of netif_carrier_ok() would be always false. That is why I use tp->speed, not netif_carrier_ok(), to check the linking stauts.
