Description of problem:

[root@apone ~]# mii-tool eth0
SIOCGMIIREG on eth0 failed: Input/output error
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok

It reports the 'negotiated 100base...' line no matter whether or not something is connected. This breaks the initscripts link check.

I suppose it could also be a kernel issue. Driver is:
[root@apone ~]# ethtool -i eth0
driver: e1000e
version: 0.3.3.3-k6

Also occurs on rawhide.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

net-tools-1.60-91.fc10.x86_64
kernel-2.6.28-4.fc10.x86_64
