I certainly see that on the em nics on my laptop and I've heard claims of a similar problems with fxp nics. I don't see it with other em nics. Sam reports that it seems to be a bug specific to the em hardware in thinkpads. That's not the only issue in this case, but it's one of them. I suspect think we may need to poll the media state periodicly on some devices and fake up link state notifications as a workaround for incorrect drivers. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
