Description Ben Levenson 2001-11-06 21:27:36 UTC

Description of Problem:
[root@rawhide proc]# mii-tool 
no MII interfaces found

the driver for the net device is binary only (from IBM), so adding
mii-support may not be an option. (according to a brief discussion on
#kernel).
Should the binary be excluded when arch == s/390?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
net-tools-1.60-3

Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-11-14 10:14:04 UTC

Are you sure the interface types we can't test (QDIO, etc) don't support MII?
I think some of them do.

Comment 2 Florian La Roche 2001-11-20 11:06:27 UTC

We should keep the infrastructure in place to support this with s390 drivers
in the future. It doesn't matter if they are not used at the moment.

sorry if it appears like I was snoozing on this....
I've been swamped w/ erratas.
