Bug#591012: netcfg: Support /sys/class/net/ethX/carrier for link detection?



Package: netcfg
Version: 1.54

Should netcfg link detection be extended to use
/sys/class/net/ethX/carrier if it exist?  At the moment its
ethtool_lite() function uses the mii-diag/ethtool kernel API to check
link status, but the /sys/ file seem to be a more generic way to do
this.

Happy hacking,
