I need to detect network availability (see if the ethernet cable is connected) to the ENC28 board with FEZ panda and premium libraries there was Ethernet.IsCableConnected function. How can I do the same thing with cerberus?

Thanks

Hiya,

the Panda family and Wiznet51000 networking is a long way from the inbuilt networking that netmf gives on those other devices like your Cerberus. There are threads about this I’ll try to locate for you but you can search for these too.

Can you confirm what SDK version you’re using? The latest release candidate?
