This is not what your card is? Then it is a similar problem that I had 
since severn1.
00:11.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone]

This is what type of card you have? Then the problem is similar to what 
is happening for me with the card.

00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseTX [Boomerang]


I searched for the cable unplugged bug report and someone else had the 
identical problem that I had.

here is a link to my bug report

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104793

I have both the working tornado and the buggy Boomerang NIC in the output.

I originally filed a bug as below for redhat-config-network from RHL 7.3 
upgrade.
