[E1000-devel] disable igb auto-negotiation

[Ran S. <ran...@gm...>]

Hello,



I am using igb driver:

cat output/build/linux-4.10.17/.config | grep IGB

CONFIG_IGB=y

CONFIG_IGB_HWMON=y

CONFIG_IGBVF=y



But every boot is takes a lot of time till ethernet is ready.

I try to disable auto negotiation, but nothing helps yet, the device
resist, and keep resets phy.

adapter->fc_autoneg = false;

hw->mac.autoneg = false;

hw->phy.autoneg_advertised = 0;


I tried more flags, but nothing helps.
The phy always disabled/reset at boot (led is off for 1 second and then on).

Is there a way to disable auto-negotiation with igb driver ?
I use buildroot with kernel 4.10.81.


Thank you for any suggestion,

ran
