Hi guys,
Does anyone know how to check the carrier signal of a pcmcia NIC
wired/wireless ?
I noticed that most of the drivers under /drivers/net has
netif_carrier_on and netif_carrier_off defined.
However, I only manage to find one for xircom_cb in the 2.4.18 kernel.
I grab hold of 2.5.63 and saw that now none of the pcmcia drivers has
netif_carrier_on/off.
What is the reason for not having netif_carrier_on/off ? power saving?
I created a dummy device to constantly probe eth0 (if present) for
netif_carrier_ok,
but I found out later that it depends on the h/w settings.
Does anyone has any experiences to share with regard to carrier signal
on pcmcia card?
Best regards,
jon.
