No. As for link detection on the switch connected to this card: If I have WoL turned off, then I don't get link beat detection. If I have WoL turned on, then PHY won't be powered down, and I get link detection on the switch.

I don't get link beat detection with the original driver either, when interface is down (unless I pass it -a, but then it will bring the interface up). --Edwin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
