Not at all. as Nick says, it is likely that it was using DHCP to get an IP, and wasnt plugged in. For cards that support link detection via MII, the interface needs to be in an up state. (well, semi-up.. some work, some dont.. for example, the eepro100 in my laptop works fine with MII in an enabled, but non-up state. i.e., kernel driver loaded, with an ethX assigned to it).
