Shameless plug :-)
You can use my linkloop(1) to test connectivity at the MAC address
level (even without IP configured, only a driver loaded).
Grab it at (stupid URL I know):
http://users.actcom.co.il/~oron/oron/docs/linkloop-0.0.1.tar.gz
After the normal ./configure && make && make install
run the linkloop_reply server on one host (this functionality isn't
yet avaiable in the Linux kernel where it should be).
and than on the other host simply:
linkloop <peer_mac_address>
If it passes, than you know the hardware on both sides is OK and
connected.
Let me know how it work for you.
