You should use MII-tools, but they don't work with all rtl8139 cards( with one of mine it doesn't). Here is patch against 2.4.19-pre8, which can be probably clearly applied against later trees. It adds /proc/8139too entry, which one can see, if link is ok or not. > Thanks in advance. > Regards > KK Evgeniy Polyakov ( s0mbre )
