Apologies for the rant mode:
# mii-tool
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
# ethtool
ethtool: bad command line argument(s)
For more information run ethtool -h
# ethtool -h | grep ' ethtool' | grep -v DEVNAME
ethtool -h|--help Show this help
ethtool --version Show version number
So no, it's not a simple replacement.
While I'm in rant mode, note that there's no programmable bash
completion for the subcommands of ip. I wasn't aware of ip neigh.
