I never did, but many wireless drivers don't support ethtool. That's a fact, not conjecture. For example, the iwl4965 driver (with mac80211, etc.) for my Intel card doesn't support ethtool or mii-tool: [root@golem3 ~]# ethtool wlan0 Settings for wlan0: No data available [root@golem3 ~]# mii-tool wlan0 SIOCGMIIPHY on 'wlan0' failed: Operation not supported ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - I was married by a judge.
