Not that the approach taken by this commit is to change the mii-tools
command to require interface names to be specified on the command line,
rather than updating the program to do a more robust search for defined
interfaces.

Title:
  mii-tool assumes NIC names of the form eth* when given no interface(s)
  as argument

Status in net-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On a system with biosdevname enabled, which names NICs in the forms
  em* and p*p*, mii-tool will return the message "no MII interfaces
  found" if mii-tool is called without specifying an interface. The
  correct behavior would be to iterate through em* and p*p*. (More
  information on biosdevname can be found at
  
http://linux.dell.com/files/whitepapers/consistent_network_device_naming_in_linux.pdf.)
