if the cable is removed from the NIC, a popup warning message is displayed. The system is able to sense whether the ethernet connection is alive. Can linux have the same functionality? This could be a useful part of the gnome/kde DE.

with some nics you can use
# mii-tool eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
# mii-tool eth0: no link eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
