Comment 89 for bug 767192

I couldn't remember; maybe I did only boot it once before, and maybe I was not being patient enough. Sorry.

Today I reinstalled 2.6.38-9.43 proposed. I booted twice, and on the second boot I waited a few minutes, and the network ultimately came up without any modprobes or network-manager toggles. The syslog shows the expected direct probe messages. Log attached.

The network seems to be fully functional, just slow to come up. I haven't tested its throughput or anything like that.

I will boot one more time on this one and will also try the other kernel you mentioned.
