#9591: [net_server] it shouldn't be possible to auto-config an interface with no link ----------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: diver | Owner: mmlr Type: bug | Status: assigned Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Servers/net_server | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ----------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by mmlr): Can you attach a syslog? The media changes are printed there, so it should show there what's going on. Maybe media status reporting is broken or not implemented for that driver? You can verify that by checking the ifconfig output. The line where the MTU is printed also shows "link" if a link is detected. Note that there sadly are two different flags that are used to determine link state, IFM_ACTIVE and IFF_LINK. The ethernet network stack module does set IFF_LINK based on IFM_ACTIVE, but I haven't verified whether or not it is possible that the flags diverge at some point. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9591#comment:6> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
