Hi, I recently got my hands on a MOSCHIP MCS7832 NIC (USB, fast ethernet) and NM (0.8.1) immediately starts connecting through it - even when there's no cable attached!
My question is - whose job is it to watch/detect link state changes when a cable is (dis-)connected? ethtool and mii-tool both report link state correctly, but connecting and disconnecting the cable produces no kernel message - it probably produces NO message or event, since, according to the docs [1], the chip can only report link state as a response to host's request ie. someone needs to periodically poll the device for link state and no one's doing that now in Linux. What I'm asking is - is this a NM bug or kernel bug?
