Subject: [PATCH 11/22] e1000: Fire a link even interrupt instead of a watchdog at init.

From: "Kok, Auke" <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 08 Dec 2006 15:03:09 -0800

Instead of calling a watchdog event we let our interrupt handler
cascade a link event. This allows us to spot link up immediately
after _up() without racing against a new watchdog.
