Log message:
	Refactor part of the implementation that checks the link status
	using ioctl(SIOCGMIIPHY).
	
	It appears that the original source code for mii-tool(8) has
	a similar problem: the ifreq.ifr_data is not initialized to point
	to user-supplied data storage.
	
	However, attempts to test the original mii-tool(8) implementation compiled
	from source code (before and after the fix) fail with the following error:
	SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported
	
	The above error is probably because the network interface card doesn't
	support MII.
	
	Eventually, the above refactoring fixes a compilation error triggered
	by the forthcoming gcc-4.1 described in Bugzilla entry #448
