It was changed to use the proper ioctl, not SIOCDEVPRIVATE. This means that the ioctl isn't getting through to the kernel right. What card is this ? on-board eepro100 Seems to be OK in fully up2date'd Limbo:
# /sbin/mii-tool -vv eth0
eth0: 100 Mbit, full duplex, link ok

mii-tools are still depricated in favor of ethtool > mii-tools are still depricated in favor of ethtool
Well, how do I get the same information out of ethtool?

I'm closing this bug. Comments indicate mii-tool works now. WRT ethtool, you need an updated eepro100.c from kernel.org to add in the necessary ethtool support. |
mii-tools always shows all zeros for me. It used to work correctly in 7.1 (on the same HW). Compare the following outputs of mii-tools from net-tools-1.60-3 and Donald Becker's mii-diag: [alexei@home alexei]# /sbin/mii-tool -vv eth0 eth0: 10 Mbit, half duplex, no link registers for MII PHY 0: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 product info: vendor 00:00:00, model 0 rev 0 basic mode: 10 Mbit, half duplex basic status: no link capabilities: advertising: [alexei@home alexei]# /usr/local/sbin/mii-diag -vv eth0 mii-diag.c:v2.02 5/21/2001 Donald Becker (becker) http://www.scyld.com/diag/index.html Basic mode control register 0x2100: Auto-negotiation disabled, with Speed fixed at 100 mbps, full-duplex.
