[c-nsp] 7206 Gigabit Ethernet Card - Strange behavior

[Justin M. Streiner]

You might need to disable keepalive on that interface.  It's been a long 
time, but I remember running into some funky behavior with the PA-1GEs.

Also, keep in mind that on that card, particularly if that's a non-VXR 
chassis, you probably won't get anything close to line-rate through that 
interface.

The thing is, it shows a link light and up/up from the moment the adapter is plugged in, regardless of whether or not a cable is plugged into the adapter. Is this normal behavior, or an indication that something is wrong with the adapter or card?
