Carrier detection for network interfaces

[Martin Schlemmer]

Hi

Is there any proper way to detect a carrier signal with network
interfaces ?  I have recently come across a problem where we tried
to do with with checking for 'RUNNING', which do not work for all
drivers, as well as mii-tool that fails in some cases.


Thanks,
