Does netlink solve the fact that there are cards (at least in 2.4)
that do not support any detection method:
ne2k-pci

SIOCGMIIPHY failed (Operation not permitted)
SIOCDEVPRIVATE failed (Operation not supported)
3c59x (3c980-TX)
SIOCETHTOOL failed (Operation not permitted)
SIOCGMIIPHY failed (Operation not permitted)
SIOCDEVPRIVATE: unplugged
3c59x (3c905C-TX/TX-M)
SIOCETHTOOL failed (Operation not supported)
SIOCGMIIPHY: link beat detected
SIOCDEVPRIVATE: link beat detected
