If the network card doesn't support MII, then you should avoid using the
"missing-cable". If you are using the stanzas for different network
interfaces, you can specify the list of active stanzas in the "mapping"
section, by just putting the space-separated list of names after a "map"
directive, such as in:
mapping eth0
script /usr/sbin/guessnet-ifupdown
map default: auto
# Only look for the home, work, work1 and club profiles
map home work work1 club
After all, if link-beat is not supported that test does not make sense
anyway.
I do agree that the test should never succeed when link-beat detection
doesn't work, though: please leave this bug open.
Thanks,
Enrico a bit overworked
