Re: hal net.80203.link bug



I submitted the bug to bugzilla as suggested. The text is below.

David Zeuthen wrote: hal-0.4.7 in FC3 and FC Rawhide just listens to the netlink socket for link changes and gets the initial state from the carrier file in sysfs. It works great for me and I've not seen any bugs on this (apart from drivers that don't support it).
Is it possible that NM is causing hal to get the initial state wrong 
from the sysfs?

plug in wire, boot

unplug wire

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

Reproducible everytime.
