fixed 440319 0.7~alpha3 thanks To not get to much offtopic here, the original bug report was about media option. The documentation clearly states that media option is a driver dependent setting, this is inherited from net-tools ifconfig. Since you didn't provide any output I can only assume the ifconfig command returns an error when trying to use the media option, and ifupdown always bails out when something fails. This would explain why the route command never runs to add your gateway. A new driver like tg3 most likely does not support this driver-dependent interface at all (you would probably need to use an old ISA cards and ancient drivers for those for this option to be supported).... I'm marking this as fixed in 0.7~alpha3 where media is removed entirely and won't be causing problems like this.
If you have problems with mii-tool, you wouldn't be the first one and I encurage you to file bugs against it. With ethtool I think you'll have to dig deeper into the documentation to find out how it works. If you believe you have found a bug feel free to report it against ethtool. (This includes the Priority if you feel it's currently wrong.) -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
