Hi Michael

I found a little bug.

When configure in ifcfg-eth* is ONBOOT=no,
the behavior of ethtool command is wrong.

    # grep ONBOOT /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
    ONBOOT=no
    # ethtool eth2 | tail -n1
            Link detected: yes

I think "Link detected" should be "no".
Why?  Sure, there is no IP on the link, but does that mean the link is 
otherwise unusable?  Is ethtool only about IP status?
