mii-tool - operation not permitted

Steve Lewis — Tue, 31 Aug 2004 09:07:01 GMT

Under Mandrake 9.X I could type mii-tool eth0 and it would give me the speed and duplex for my network card, which uses the eepro100 driver. lsmod also indicates that I also have the mii driver which is used by eepro100.

Now I have upgraded to Mandrake 10.0 this command gives the following error:
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported

Any ideas how to fix this?

Have You tried "ethtool" command? "mii-tool" uses an older ioctl interface.

Is the error reported that one, or is there a "No MII data available" error message also given?

What exact card is installed?
