[Bug 381196] Re: network card/driver (sis190) doesn't notice when cable is unplugged

[Francesc Oller]

Andy, patched kernel doesn't work for me. It seems that it depends on
cabling:

with a good UTP cable it fails, keeps autonegatiating! I get a bunch of:

eth0: auto-negotiating...
eth0: auto-negotiating...
eth0: auto-negotiating...
eth0: auto-negotiating...
...

with a home-made cable (worse quality) it works:

eth0: mii ext = 0000
eth0: mii lpa = 45e1 adv = 01e1
eth0: link on 100 Mbps Full Duplex mode
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready

(no auto-negotiating traces)

A working workaround?
