Is that just a bug in the mii-tool
We just had a lengthy discussion about this not long ago. Here's the short of it: Media Independent Interface (MII): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Independent_Interface mii-tool is designed to work only with physical hardware connected to the MII bus. A Linux bonded network interface is a phantom kernel software device. It exists purely as a data set in the kernel. A kernel data set has no link speed or duplex. Does this fully answer your question? Try ethtool instead. If that's still not satisfactory, you could always go straight to the horses mouth, and direct mii-tool at each *physical* interface separately. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
