Hi, We have a requirement that when an interface is taken down administratively, the phy should be powered off. That also works when the interface has link when the 'ip link set down ...' is run. But if there's no cable plugged in, the phy stays powered on (as can be seen both using phytool, and from the fact that a peer gets carrier once a cable is later plugged in).
Is this expected behaviour? Driver/device dependent? Can we do anything to force the phy off? Thanks, Rasmus
