+Subject: smsc95xx: mark link down on startup and let PHY interrupt
+ deal with carrier changes
+
+From: Paolo Pisati <paolo.pisati@canonical.com>
+
+commit 07d69d4238418746a7b85c5d05ec17c658a2a390 upstream.
+
+Without this patch sysfs reports the cable as present
+
+flag@flag-desktop:~$ cat /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier
+1
+
+while it's not:
+
+flag@flag-desktop:~$ sudo mii-tool eth0
+eth0: no link
+
+Tested on my Beagle XM.
