Sorry, I should have followed up on this - it turns out that mii-tool was reporting the correct information. I actually had to hard set it to 100Mbps FD, so the gigabit support wasn't a problem.
Perhaps if I'd used ethtool to change the setting originally I wouldn't have this problem, but anyway, it's not a big deal, I no longer get interface errors so the thing that needed fixing was fixed Thanks anyway :) On Mon, Aug 4, 2008 at 5:30 PM, Joel Heenan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > mii-tool does not support gigabit. > > Joel > > On Mon, Jul 28, 2008 at 5:34 PM, Tony Sceats <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Hi Sluggers, >> >> Anyone ever had mii-tool and ethtool tell them different things?
