Cable detection

Hello,

How is it possible to detect if the ethernet cable is connected ? I try to use NAIfconfigIsDeviceUp, but this functions always returns TRUE.
I’m working with the connectme and the NS7520 dev. board.

Thanks

Gregory

Gregory,

I assume that you have already uncovered the answer to your question, however, for the sake of others who may visit this thread in the future I shall post a response.

In order to determine if you have Ethernet link, or not, you should make use of the MII API function, customizeMiiCheckLink. This call returns:

0 = No link
1 = Link is ok
