DPAA Ethernet traffice troubles with Linux kernel

[mad skateman]

Some extra info:

When Ubuntu boots, Eth0 (192.168.22.44) is not brought up automaticly..

When i bring up eth0 by hand, its still not active..

root at X5000LNX:/home/skateman# ifconfig eth0 up
root at X5000LNX:/home/skateman# ping 192.168.22.44
connect: Network is unreachable

When i use mii-tool too Kick the tranceiver... it comes alive.. i can
ping the eth0 itself

root at X5000LNX:/home/skateman# mii-tool -R eth0
resetting the transceiver...
root at X5000LNX:/home/skateman# ping 192.168.22.44

Not realy sure why the Tranceiver is not brought up directly when linux starts..
