Does ethtool work for every card for which the driver >has an MII interface ? Except that on pmacs, the interface is powered down about 10 seconds after you ifconfig it down. This is good for power management of laptops obviously but means you won't be able to probe for the link status at that point. Worse (my fault), sungem in the official tree has a bug that will cause it to still try to bang the HW if you use the mii ioctls while the HW is down, thus causing machine check oops'es (that is fixed in my tree, I still have to send the patch to DaveM) Ben. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
