<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=431014022-03122008>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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=431014022-03122008>Is there a fix/ or
related bug for this?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P>Hi Jaid,</P>
<P>> I am using the following:</P>
<P>> </P>
<P>> Linux version 2.6.23-486-voyage (2.6.23-2) (root@punknix-uml) (gcc </P>
<P>> version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21))</P>
<P>> </P>
<P>> I was trying to hard set the ethernet ports to 100baseTx-FD (speed </P>
<P>> 100, duplex full)</P>
<P>> </P>
<P>> Even when I didn't hard set the interface the mii-tool would say the
</P>
<P>> interface was set to 100 full duplex but dmesg would inform me the </P>
<P>> interface was last set to 10 M Half duplex.</P>
<P>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. </P>
<P>Have you tried asking the question on the Voyage list?</P>
<P>Best regards,</P>
<P>Paul McGowan</P></FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
