           Summary: Link status is not correclty updated for E810 NIC (ice
                    driver) on Windows
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 22.11
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

Hello,

I have an issue regarding the link status when using a Intel E810 NIC with
DPDK.

I have a simple sample which simply loops, call `rte_eth_link_get` and prints
the result.

When using a E810 NIC, I have the following behaviour : 
- At the start of the test, the cable is plugged in;
- I launch the sample, the link is reported as up (as expected)
- I unplug the cable
- The link is still reported as up in the sample (not expected).
- I stop the sample and relaunch it
- The link is reported as down by the sample (as expected)
- I replug the cable
- The link is still reported as down by the sample (not expected).

I looks like, once DPDK is started, the link status of the device is not
correctly updated.

When trying this with an XXV710 (i40e driver), i have no issue.

According to the Overview of Networking Drivers(
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides-21.02/nics/overview.html ), the ice driver is
compatible  with "Link Status" and "Link Status Event" functionalities.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Setup:
- DPDK v22.11.1
- DDP : ice-1.3.30.0.pkg.
