Ok, now I have:
mapping eth0
script guessnet-ifupdown
map foobar
map default: fallback
map timeout: 3
map verbose: true
iface foobar inet static
address a.b.c.d
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway e.f.g.h
broadcast a.b.c.255
dns-search .....
dns-nameservers ......
test peer address e.f.g.h mac 00:00:0c:4a:3e:c8 source
a.b.c.d
and if I run it through
cat interfaces | guessnet-ifupdown -v -debug
I get
guessnet: 0 candidates found in input
guessnet: Guessnet 0.33 starting...
guessnet: Trying MII detection
guessnet: 0 candidate profiles
guessnet: Trying MII detection
guessnet: Initialized test subsystems
guessnet: Added "default" test none
guessnet: Default test is none
guessnet: Started tests
No candidates provided: skipping detection
none
and the same when I remove the source ... part.
So there is still a problem.

Ok. This is true.

Forget it, I didn't see that there are differnet descriptions for the
test, depending on the mode.
But the problem is still the same, see above.
