I also think this card supports mii-tools. If I remember correctly it worked just fine in Mandrakre 9.0. But now with 9.1 Beta 1 and 2 it just doesn't work.This all boils down to ifplud being selected to start the interface rather than ifup. Probably because I had an old ifcfg-eth0 file that did not have MII_NOT_SUPPORTED in it. I put that in the file and it worked again.It would be nice if ifplugd detected it could not work with the card (versus is not connected, something like looking for "operation not supported" or such) and ran ifup ... BTW, my card is a "3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseTX" shouldn't that card support MII?
Also check out this bug
