Kieran,

Does this mean we shouldn't let the stack know the state?  I poll the PHY
every 500mS and if the link changes state (either on to off or off to on) I
call netif_set_link_up or netif_set_link_down appropriately.  Should I not
be doing this?  I did define LWIP_NETIF_LINK_CALLBACK.

Thanks,
Bill
