    [SOLVED]Interface Marvell Yukon-EC Ultra (Sky2 module) not ready at startup

    I met the following problem with my computer equipped of a Marvell Yukon-EC Ultra network interface :

    When I started my computer, the network interface was not working.
    But an
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/networking restart
    switched it on

    In the logs I could read :
    sky2 eth0: enabling interface
    ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
    It seems that the networking interface is not switched on enough quickly during boot-up.
    Start the network services at hand after the startup was not very pratical .
    So this is what I have done using the functionnalities of upstart.
    1) When kdm is started, emit the kdm-started signal
    2) When upstart receives the kdm-started signal, it restart the network

    First, create a new script /etc/event.d/restart-network

    Code:
    # Restart-network
    #
    # This task restarts the network when kdm has started
    # The module Sky2 doesn't start the network enought quickly during boot-up.
    
    start on kdm-started
    
    script
    # Wait for 5 seconds and restart the network interfaces
        sleep 5
        exec /etc/init.d/networking restart
    end script
    Then, in the /etc/init.d/kdm-kde4 script, add the line "initctl emit kdm-started" :

    Code:
    case "$1" in
     start)
      if [ -e $DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE ] &&
       [ "$HEED_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER" = "true" ] &&
       [ "$(cat $DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE)" != "$DAEMON" ]; then
       echo "Not starting K Display Manager (kdm-kde4); it is not the default display manager."
      else
       # if usplash is running, make sure to stop it now, yes "start" kills it.
       if pidof usplash > /dev/null; then
        DO_NOT_SWITCH_VT=yes /etc/init.d/usplash start
       fi
    
       echo -n "Starting K Display Manager: kdm-kde4"
       start-stop-daemon --start --quiet $SSD_ARGS -- $ARG || echo -n " already running"
       echo "."
       # -> HERE <-
       initctl emit kdm-started
       # -> HERE <-
      fi
     ;;
    Be carefull of the owners and rights of the script restart-network
    And voila !
Working...
