Does that work with all NICs now? I used to run into NICs that it didn't handle (but ethtool did). I haven't looked at mii-tool in a while though. In any case, that handles one thing that ethtool does (speed/duplex); what about the rest? Also, AFAIK there's no nice hook to run mii-tool (or anything else) in ifup-eth like there is for ethtool. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
