Hmmm....I made that change for a reason. Waiting for autonegotiation to finish on a tsec with no link was quite tiresome. If you've hooked up the 4th tsec, and try to boot, you end up waiting for *three* tsecs to timeout. If dhcp fails because the link isn't up you can always try again, or add a delay before dhcp starts so that the link is up.
I'm open to other suggestions, but I really don't want to go back to the old behavior.
Is there any way that you could do the auto-negotiation in parallel?
Better yet if you could send bootp/dhcp requests to each one as it comes up, and abort the process upon the first valid bootp/dhcp reply.
