Unfortunately this not only happens on boot, but every time I remove and reinstall the module, with the cable unplugged. relevant part of /var/log/messages

So this problem might be a kernel module problem, since it thinks that it has a link only when the module is loading even if there is no cable... What do you think? Can someone in gutsy test if the things that are happening to me, happens to him, too?
