Hmm... I'm wondering if that means it's an alpha-only issue then, which would make this a much larger headache than it already is. Also thank you for checking, I appreciate you taking the time.
I assume the those interfaces actually work right? (simple ping over that interface would be enough) I posted in a subsequent message that mine do not appear to at all.
My next step is to build that driver as a module, and see if it changes anything (I'm doubting it will). Then after that go dig up a different adapter, and see if it's the network stack or the driver.
I've been hard pressed over the last week to get a lot of diagnosing time.

I decided to test this again before I got sidetracked on my bigger issue. The kernel I repored this on was 6.12.12 on alpha, this is also that same version, but with a make distclean, and just about every single debug option turned on.
I left the last line of the kernel boot in this output as well, showing "link beat good"
I pulled the plug and it happened again immediately. I waited 10 sec, and plugged it back in, and I do not get a "link up" type message that I would expect to see.
I was not able to reproduce this on my Cobalt Qube2 with the link being UP and then pulling the cable unfortunately, I could try other things if you want me to.
