+Subject: [PATCH] IPV4: unlock rtnl_mutex before waiting for carrier on
+
+There is a race condition between ip auto configuration and the ethernet
+driver. The ip configuration is taking the rtnl_mutex in the ic_open_devs()
+function and then is waiting 120 seconds for a carrier on at least
+one network device. The driver is locked in the mutex and the carrier on
+is not sent. After 120 seconds, the mutex is unlocked and the driver is
+continuing its task execution.
+
+The mutex should be unlocked in the ip auto configuration before waiting the
+carrier on from the ethernet driver.
+
