I think there are two separate bugs though they may be related. The one I submitted to the hal component of bugzilla had to do with the freezing of the value of net.80203.link as reported by the hal-device-manager. I just repeated part of the experiment to look at the /sys/.../carrier file. Yes

Neal, It appears here that the machine went to sleep? The "errno = 19" reported by NetworkManager is ENODEV, and the telltale "remove event not handled", followed by the stuff about ACPI seem to indicate that the machine went to sleep for some reason, then woke up. Right now, NM doesn't hand

One of the machines I'm on has a 3com 3c940 onboard ethernet using the sk98lin driver. Now, the card apparently has MII support, but the linux driver doesn't support it, not even with either 2.6.10 or the card manufacturer's supplied driver. I know from some googling that it's there on the Free
