Setup is a simple pair of routers with 2 nics each, all e1000. If you start a vrrp setup with keepalived and interface state is down during keepalived startup, then the failover does not work. If the nics are UP during startup everything works well. Now the kernel part of the story: the exact same setup works with tulip cards. Is there a difference regarding UP/DOWN state handling/events in e1000 and tulip. e100 and eepro100 show the same problem btw. Any hints are welcome Regards, Stephan
