"Cable Connected" setting ignored (Intel NIC only) => Fixed in SVN

[Evgeni Gechev]

"Cable Connected" setting is ignored. host (uname -a): Linux vmhost 2.6.28.6.etg #1 SMP Wed Feb 18 07:30:55 EET 2009 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux guest: linux x86_32 3 eth interfaces: NIC 1: MAC: 080027CAB5B0, Attachment: Host Interface 'vlan4000', Cable connected: off, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 82543GC, Reported speed: 0 Mbps NIC 2: MAC: 08002756E015, Attachment: Host Interface 'vlan4000', Cable connected: off, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 82543GC, Reported speed: 0 Mbps NIC 3: MAC: 080027E54698, Attachment: Host Interface 'eth0', Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 82543GC, Reported speed: 0 Mbps

On guest machine mii-tool reports "no link", ethtool reports "Link detected: Yes", ip reports "LOWER_UP" And yes, the link is up, and machine has access to the net. The Host Interface above is vlan due to conflict with the real machine on the lan (vm is a clone of real running host), using eth instead of vlan doesn't make difference, problem persists

P.S. When ethernet device is PCnet-Fast III everything is correct.
