Look at the "carrier" file in sysfs, something like /sys/class/net/eth1/carrier. If that file says "0", then you have no link. If that file says "1", then you have a link. NM reads netlink status messages, which also set the "carrier" file. So if the carrier file works, but NM doesn't then it's NM's problem. If carrier doesn't update, then its the driver/kernel.
