ethernet card question
is there a way to know if there's a cable connected to the ethernet
card?... I ask this because I have a lombard powerbook, with a dhcp
configured eth0, but if I boot GNU/Linux (ubuntu hoary) it stops waiting
for a dhcp server, I would like to modify the networking script, so if
there's no cable present on the card, don't configure the eth0 device,
only the loopback. Is it possible? Something like OS X does when it's
booting.
thanks a lot,
