The problem is you're using the r1000 driver (like I do), which does not
support link status detection. There are some patches to bring r8168
support to the kernel's r81969 driver, which does support status
detection, but I tried them and hacked a little on it, but it doesn't
seem to work :( Let's hope the netdev guys get it incorporated soon.
