Hi all,
I have a "Samsung X10plus" laptop with the builtin ethernet interface
"Broadcom 4400 10/100BaseT". I am running the "Sarge" snapshot from
Dec 5th.
I have my laptop connected to the ethernet before I start booting.
After I had booted my system I submit the command
"mii-tool eth0"
and the respond is
No MIT transceiver present.
Then I start "eth0" manually (ifup eth0). Everything works fine. I
get a network connection. Now I stop it again (ifdown eth0) and I
unplug the ethernet cable. When I now submit the command "mii-tool
eth0" I get the answer I was expecting
eth0: no link
My question is why do I get the message "No MIT transceiver present"
right after the booting?
This behavior makes it impossible to detect if I am hooked to the
network and automatically startup my ethernet interface.
Any help or any pointer would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Norbert
