On guest machine mii-tool reports "no link", ethtool reports "Link detected: Yes", ip reports "LOWER_UP"
And yes, the link is up, and machine has access to the net. The Host Interface above is vlan due to conflict with the real machine on the lan (vm is a clone of real running host), using eth instead of vlan doesn't make difference, problem persists
