This is actually ok. What is happening is not that guessnet is running the link detection test, but it's just running its function to check the interface status at startup. The function to check the interface status, in turn, reads all sorts of info from the interface, including the link status. This causes the warnings you see. I'm now hiding those warnings unless guessnet is run with --verbose. What is needed, is a better handling of the return value of the function, to distinguish between inavailability of the feature or link beat status.
