Yes, for e1000 code, there is no such running status check.
I still have no idea how network manager causes it abnormal, I haven't Ubutun on hand to try :(
Maybe this is the cause for ehtX not working after supend/resume (need 'if up' again to restore).
Anyway, this patch seems no harm to anything.
Thanks
