[Voyage-linux] Ethernet drivers for Alix 2-2 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Dawson, Jaid MR]

UNCLASSIFIED

I have found a problem with the mii-tool and the Alix 2-2 Ethernet
driver.  Mii-tool  doesn't seem to be able to control the Ethernet
drivers to hard set or auto neg.  I found this out whilst doing some
tests, I discovered that mii-tool would report the link as one thing and
the dmesg would tell me another thing.  The version I am using is
attached.
Is there a fix/ or related bug for this?
 
The below is an email I sent to Yawarra:
Hi Jaid,

> I am using the following:

> 

> Linux version 2.6.23-486-voyage (2.6.23-2) (root at punknix-uml) (gcc 

> version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21))

> 

> I was trying to hard set the ethernet ports to 100baseTx-FD (speed 

> 100, duplex full)

> 

> Even when I didn't hard set the interface the mii-tool would say the 

> interface was set to 100 full duplex but dmesg would inform me the 

> interface was last set to 10 M Half duplex.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I'm afraid we don't have any
experience with mii-tool, so I don't know what the issue might be. 

Have you tried asking the question on the Voyage list?

Best regards,

Paul McGowan
