You might try ethtool commands it will have an option to "test" and reset options. these options may or may not be the exact same code as the older mii-tool. It is also possible that not all of the possible options in mii-tool and/or ethtool are actually implemented in the driver, so one may wor

Make sure to set the PI end to match. The 100Mbit/full auto-neg failure default is 10mbit/half and works badly with the other end running 100/full. As someone also said you might want to try a 100Mbit crossover cable. The gig port would need to figure out correctly that it needs to have 2 pairs
