mii-tool will return correct link status, even if the eth0 is down.
But AFAIK it is not the case with ethtool.
so can this be considered as a bug ?
Not sure. When interface is down, I am not getting any status info in
the ethtool output and man page says "BUGS: Not supported (in part or
whole) on all ethernet drivers".
Bye :)
