Your application should really `ifconfig up` the device before checking for

And for those of us with laptops, application authors should do an
"ifconfig down" the device if it doesn't find a link. Right now
thanks to such applications on my desktop, I boot with e1000
blacklisted so I can run in low-power mode when on a laptop.
BTW, it would be nice if the e1000 driver could be more safely
unloaded when it is built as a module.
I'm not aware of unload issues, what is the problem that you have?
