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

[Francesc Oller]

Now, I'm beginning to clarify things. Andy's patch works as commented by G. Guimaraes and PrSdNt.
In fact I was bitten by two bugs: this one and another (new one?) related to autonegotiating phase.

With some peer switches autonegotiation fails (doesn't complete). When I
forced my peer switch to 100Mb/s all went well. So it seems there is a
bug related to sis190 autonegotiation code not beeing robust enough.
With other NIC cards same peer switch works well.

So please, apply this patch to standard ubuntu kernels
