The mii-tool utility seems to be abandoned and unmaintained?
Here is a version that does standard 1000baseT support.

Not really. I would rather leave it as-is, and deprecate it in favor of
ethtool.
is there some ethtool (version 5) option i'm missing that will give a nice
concise link negotation state report like mii-tool does?
how about `ethtool ethX` ? It doesn't report what happened during negotiotion
but it shows status and advertised/autonegotiated/supported modes
on e1000 it seems i can find this info only via the -d option, which dumps
a lot of other info.
on skge -d doesn't seem to dump the negotiation state.
on tg3 -d doesn't even interpret the registers...
maybe it's just that i haven't had caffeine but i think i've tried every
reporting option i can find on the man page and can't find link
negotiation state.
dumping registers in readable format is an extension that needs to be
implemented per driver. Not all nics have done this - we just did it ourselves
for ixgb, and I saw skge/sky2 just fly by this week.
