Nope, ifconfig says the same thing. I unplug the cable and it still
thinks the link is working:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:05:5D:E5:AE:08
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX bytes:102567868 (97.8 Mb) TX bytes:23695300 (22.5 Mb)

I don't think this has anything to do with what tool I'm using to
query the information or how I care to parse the output. Thanks for
the big help.
