Re: [PATCH] net: usb: ax88179_178a: fix link status when link is set to down/up

[Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez]

Hello Yongqin,

After some research  and testing, it seems to happen that if initialization
is slower the second reset from open is needed too.
So, I have been working with some reproducers and I think I have the
solution for detecting when there is a problem.
If you can test it in your real environment that would be great.

Here the patch on the latest version of the file:

In addition, I have fixed the logs to show the link correclty.

If this is ok, I will submit the patch.

Thanks
