hal net.80203.link bug

[Bill Moss <bmoss clemson edu>]

FC3 kernel-2.6.10-1.741
hal 0.4.7.1
dbus 0.22-10
e1000 driver for Intel Corp. 82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller
ipw2200-0.21 driver for Intel Corp. PRO/Wireless 2200BG
setup: network service turned off, eth0 onboot=no (wired) eth1 onboot=no 
(wireless)

hal-device-manager reports values for the key net.80203.link for the 
Intel Corp. 82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller

To reproduce

NM service on, NMInfo on or off (NM brings up eth0 and eth1 at boot)
plug in wire, boot
hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 1
unplug wire: hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 1
plug in wire: hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 1
service hald restart: hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 1
plug in wire: hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 1
unplug wire: hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 1

unplug wire
reboot
hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 0
plug in wire: hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 1
unplug wire: hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 0
plug in wire: hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 1
unplug wire: hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 0
_________________________________________________________

NM service off
plug in wire, reboot
ifup eth0
hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 1
unplug wire: hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 0
plug in wire: hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 1
unplug wire: hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 0
plug in wire: hal-device-manager: net.80203.link value = 1

Appears to be yet another hal bug. hal should be immuned to whatever NM 
is doing to it.
