This patch replaces the buildtime configuration option CONFIG_NET_DO_NOT_TRY_ANOTHER through the 'ethtoggle' runtime configuration veriable. See README.
Good idea, but surely you can come up with a better word than 'ethtoggle'... It sounds like something Elmo would show to Big Bird and doesn't have anything to do with automatically advancing devices. Of course, I don't have any useful suggestions, but will think about it.
We discussed this on IRC this afternoon. The name was agreed between Matthias Fuchs, Stefan Roese, Jean-Christophe Plagniol-Villard, and me...
toggle to me implies a binary sense, e.g. toggling a switch on/off, whereas this code doesn't turn eth on/off, it enables/disables the round-robin polling of eth devices. 'ethpoll' isn't quite precise enough either; what about 'ethcycle' ?
