What do you get for the output of: sudo /sbin/ethtool eth0 If you see: Link detected: yes then the card is reporting a carrier, and NM will obviously keep the connection up because the cable is still plugged in. It's not unusual for machines these days to keep the PHY powered up (and thus you'd have a link) for Wake-on-LAN functionality. If that's the case, then you're pretty much out of luck, and you'll need to disconnect the cable because there's no good way of immediately figuring out whether the remote system is still there. That's exactly the situation: % sudo /sbin/ethtool kabel | grep Link Link detected: yes And I think this situation is futile. The only solutions I can think of require pinging or arpinging the gateway or some similar stupid, poll-happy solution. Maybe if I wait until DHCP refresh time come... Feel free to close this bug, as there is really no good solution. Ok, thanks. |
