Just for reference, could you give me the list of options that is passed
to your ifplugd for that interface? In my case, it's '-i eth0 -q -f -u0
-d2 -I -b'.

You're right, it also uses mii. You're also wrong, because judging from
the source, it calls ethtool, mii, wlan and iff, in that order. priv
apparently isn't used in auto-mode, as far as I can tell.
