You misunderstood my comment. What I meant is that the device driver for the network device should change to either delay carrier up or issue a second notifier when speed and duplex are available. If the driver doesn't handle duplex and speed notification properly, it will likely have trouble with more than just bonding. You also didn't mention the identity of the network device that requires this special handling. Is the driver part of the linux kernel? -J >Signed-off-by: yzhu1 <yzhu1@windriver.com> >--- > drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c | 34 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+) > >diff --git a/drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c b/drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c >index 9e0f8a7..a1d8708 100644 >--- a/drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c >+++ b/drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c >@@ -419,6 +419,35 @@ const char *bond_slave_link_status(s8 link) > } > } > >+/* This function is to check the speed and duplex of a NIC. >+ * Since the speed and duplex of a slave device are very >+ * important to the bonding in the 802.3ad mode.
