Package: whereami Version: 0.3.32 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro C2D with a Marvell 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 22) (driver is sky2). The testmii script brings up the interface and instantly uses mii-tool to determine its state. As the sky2 driver seems to take some time to bring the interface up, mii-tool usually reports no link. I've manually added a two second wait between bringing the interface up and testing its link status. That seems to work.
Probably testmii should try several times before giving up.
