Try /sbin/mii-diag ethx (replace x with the number of your NIC).

Wow... I've been using Linux & SuSE for over four years. I have read about every useful book on Linux I have found. And, continually, on this email list I repeatedly see Yet Another Useful Command -YAUC @tm pending. :) Thanks! JLK

Hello, Sorry, butting in here......Just for grins, I tried that command on my server machine and got: Basic registers if MII PHY #32: 1000 782d 0000 0000 01e1 0000 0000. Basic mode control register 0x1000: Auto-negotiation enabled. You have link beat, and everything is working OK. Your link partner does not do autonegotiation, and this transceiver type does not report the sensed link speed. What does all this mean? Link beat, link partner? Also, how can full duplex be started? Or is it? BTW, the command had to be run as /usr/sbin/mii-diag ethx. Thanks. -- TRBishop tb64710@alltel.net SuSE 7.2 Pro

Where or what package is mii-diag in? I could only find mii-tool on SuSE 7.3.
Is this the same application?

mii-diag is in the package netdiag. It doesn't work for my card (RealTek 8139), it reports 10 mbps half-duplex, when in reality I'm running 100mbps, full-duplex. rtl8139-diag from the same package, at least confirms the duplex setting, but doesn't mention link beat or speed setting. //Anders

Thanks Anders. That's helpful.

Yeah, I've been wanting to ask that too! How do I force the speed to 100Mb in Full Duplex mode? Marcel
