 interesting.

This computer (with an 8139 ethernet card) is connected to my firewall
(with an eepro100) using crossover, and both dmesg and mii-tool say I've
got a full duplex connection.

 Have a look at the output of dmesg, that should tell you.

There is a discrepancy between dmesg and mii-tool:

From dmesg:

eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner
ability 45e1.

mii-tool:

zsh % sudo  mii-tool
eth0: 10 Mbit, half duplex, no link

hi,

i have the same exact output. dmesg says 100 mb while mii-tool says 10
mb. is it possible mii-tool only works with specific cards, or is a
network tool rather than a card tool? i have two d-link nic's using
the rtl8139too driver. according to the other pc, running some other os
(for the kids :-(), it is also running at 100 - which it should - but
doesn't tell my the duplex.
my eth1 is connected to another d-link via a cross-over cable. i thought
using a cross-over cable limited you to half-duplex?
interesting.

take care,
jason
