[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#539583: wrong output from /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate

[J. Bakshi]

Subject: wrong output from /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate
Package: base
Severity: critical

The internet is working. I can ping remoteservers; download emails but
"/sys/class/net/eth0/operstate" shows "unknown". It should display "up"
