Subject: r8169 doesn't report link state correctly.
Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2011 13:09:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DA35FEF.1030009@candelatech.com> (raw)
I notice that in kernel 2.6.38-wl, the realtek 8169 NIC doesn't
report link down when in fact there is no cable connected. Instead,
it shows 10Mbps half-duplex. I have no idea if this previously worked
or not.
