Unfortunately I started celebrating too soon. The problem is still there. I added a "cat /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier" in the init script, right before the daemon is started. On startup I get a "invalid argument", then NM is started, believes the link is up, activates eth0, eth0 gets and LL ip. After I login, "cat /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier" yields 0, and nm-tool shows no link. The version is 0.6.5 with r2578 applied.
