Description Benny Amorsen 2007-06-11 19:17:08 UTC 
Description of problem:

When I boot my laptop, an HP nx8220 --
http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=bca3bdcf-1263-4846-bcb6-a38c8ff7a5c7
-- NetworkManager detects that the eth0 interface has link, even though it
actually doesn't (no cable plugged in). Therefore it fails to switch to the
wireless network.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.6.5-3.fc7


How reproducible:

Every boot

Comment 2 Dan Williams 2007-11-01 00:59:38 UTC 
Can you test with the latest kernel?  Also, when the cable is _un_plugged, can
you give the output of:

cat /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier

and 

cat /sys/class/net/eth1/carrier
Comment 3 Benny Amorsen 2007-11-01 21:49:01 UTC 
The problem does not exist in kernel-2.6.23.1-41.fc8. The problem has been gone
for a while even in F7-kernels, but I am not sure exactly which kernel fixed it.
