Description of problem: Network devices can have arbitrary names, and due to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ConsistentNetworkDeviceNaming, will have different names in Fedora 15. mii-tool, if passed no arguments, will only iterate across devices named ethX. ... /* No remaining args means show all interfaces. */ if (optind == argc) { ret = 1; for (i = 0; i < MAX_ETH; i++) { sprintf(s, "eth%d", i); ret &= do_one_xcvr(skfd, s, 1); } ... etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): net-tools-1.60 How reproducible: By inspection. Additional info: It does say the program is obsolete. We could just remove it?
(In reply to comment #0) > It does say the program is obsolete. We could just remove it? Well, I like the idea of removing this prehistoric tool too, but there are still some people using it (e.g. bug #539575). So I think it would be better to fix it to request the device name as argument (as ethtool does).
