Hi All,

Is there any way in Linux to determine Ethernet Port status like network
disconnection. One can use ping, but I can't assure whether the failure is
due to network disconnection.

If your NIC supports the MII standard (most modern NICs do), then you
can just run the "mii-tool" program to figure out the link status.
