From 3013dc0cceb9baaf25d5624034eeaa259bf99004 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:27:09 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] 3c59x: shorten timer period for slave devices Jean Delvare reported bonding on top of 3c59x adapters was not detecting network cable removal fast enough. 3c59x indeed uses a 60 seconds timer to check link status if carrier is on, and 5 seconds if carrier is off. This patch reduces timer period to 5 seconds if device is a bonding slave.
