I have this same issue. P120 machine with 2 3c905 PCI cards. Not only does mii_tool report no link. But using it to set the mode and duplex is broken as well. Looks to be something specific with the 3C90x family of cards and this particular version of mii_tool. Older versions of the tool work fine (have not tried them on core1 but they do work under older versions of redhat.) Wire I can't even find the mii_tool? What is it?

Description : The net-tools package contains basic networking tools, including ifconfig, netstat, route, and others. ps... maybe the component of this Bugzilla report should be changed to "net-tools". Boy do I feel like and idiot. For some reason slocate did not return it. I will move bug to net-tools Ben, wire may I have more info about your sw and hardware. Kernel and net-tools versions etc. I don't believe I have the system running any more. I'm pretty sure it was net-tools 1.60.20.1 and kernel-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl. The system is a Dell Dimension V400 (but this issue also effects the XPS T600r) when used with a 3Com 3c905B-TX PCI 10/100 NIC. I've looked through the archives and I believe this has been an issue in the past, up to and including Red Hat 6.2. At the moment, I do have a system that is working when querying a 3c905 card in an older Dimension, but it has a later kernel version of kernel-2.4.22-1.2199.ntpl. So... this may be a kernel problem rather than a net-tools/mii-tool problem and it may already be fixed. It would be handy to cross-reference this with what wire has experienced, though. Perhaps a kernel upgrade will resolve this? Anyway mii-tool is obsolete, I recommend you using ethtool which supports new NICs. |
