Description of problem: mii-tool does not display the corect speed of my 1000baseT interface, but instead says only eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok even though the switch reports 1000baseT and the actual transfer rate confirms that the link has a gigabit speed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): net-tools-1.60-99.fc12.x86_64 Additional info: I know mii-tool is obsolete, but nevertheless there exists a patch to allow this - for example in net-tools-1.60-22 in Debian: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/net-tools/net-tools_1.60-22.diff.gz (their braindead packaging system does not allow to separate the patches, but I guess taking the patches to mii-tool.c and mii-tool.8 only would be sufficient).
Ahoj Jane You are right, mii-tool is obsolete and you should check ethtool instead. But thanks for reporting, I'll look at the patch.
Well, there is an unrelated problem that I can't get ethtool to lower my speed to 100baseT either using "ethtool -s eth0 speed 100" or "ethtool -s eth0 advertise 0x0f"). It restarts autonegotiation, but ends up at 1Gb/s anyway. This is on the following NIC: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02) I will probably fill a separate bug for it, as soon as I will have time to test it on the Fedora kernel (this is on vanilla 2.6.32-rc5).
