waiting for the compaq box to become available. (currently being installed :) ) the mii-tool link availability check might lead to some unpredictable results on rarer cards that don't support MII properly, or mii interface doesn't work right. I guess there are some eepro100's which do this. I've noticed some wackiness with older 3c59x's. For debugging, the relevant bits are: mii-tool -v lspci -v (mii-tool is based on Donald Becker's mii-diag, available at ftp.scyld.com, which sometimes might give extra debug information) mii-tool requires the link to be up (ip link set up eth0) for it to work. This change will be in initscripts-6.08-1. (And yes, there are drivers with broken mii support. Those drivers should be fixed. :) ) |
