Hi,
I just discover that mii-tool and mii-diag (sarge/sid version) report Giga link as 100bTx both on 2.4.26 and 2.6.7 kernel :
Broadcom BCM5704 chipset NIC : # mii-tool eth0 eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
Intel e1000 (82546EB) : # mii-diag eth0 Basic registers of MII PHY #0: 1140 796d 0141 0c23 0de1 c181 000d 2801. The autonegotiated capability is 0180. The autonegotiated media type is 100baseTx-FD. Basic mode control register 0x1140: Auto-negotiation enabled. You have link beat, and everything is working OK. Your link partner advertised c181: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx. End of basic transceiver information.
I know for sure that those link are in full duplex Giga mode (switch configuration and benchmark).
Anybody knows a way to get the real state of these interfaces (other tool ? /proc/* ? etc...)
Is this a bts report for each tools or is it some niceness of Giga ethernet detection/negotiation ?
