Title:
  NetworkManager fails to detect link status change -- Intel 82577LM
  e1000e

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  1.) Start Ubuntu, with LAN plugged in, login
  2.) Verify NetworkManager detects the Wired Connection
  3.) stop NetworkManager
  4.) unplug LAN cable
  5.) start NetworkManager
  Result: NetworkManager doesn't detect that eth0 is not in the RUNNING state

  Plugging in LAN cable doesn't change state either, i.e. eth0 remains
  unconfigured.
