Hello,

I'm unable to setup my network card through DHCP. My guess is that it's due to 
the latest initscripts (initscripts-6.87-1mdk, updated yesterday). When 
booting or if I do a "service network restart" I get the following error: "no 
link present. check cable?". But if I type "dhcpcd eth0" in a console I get 
an IP address and everything is ok.

Looking through the file /sbin/ifup and 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions the problem is caused by the 
function check_link_down in network-functions. I don't really understand the 
logic behind the four cases in the if/fi test for the output of the 
/sbin/mii-tool command.

In my case when I type /sbin/mii-tools eth0 I get:
[root@pc184 root]# /sbin/mii-tool eth0
eth0: 10 Mbit, half duplex, no link

Denis
