sorry to disapoint, but ethtool is often not such a big help....

Very unusual - maybe an old NIC without the proper interface? Here is one of my examples: (Intel Pro 100).
No, brand new mobo (asus P5Q Premium), with four Gb interfaces on it. They all work perfectly, but only ethtool fails to see them correctly
The NIC appears to be the Marvell Yukon 2, for which the driver is sky2 - afaict, the driver does have mii support, so why it doesn't work, I don't know.
Even hwinfo --netcard sees them ok:
Yes, it uses a different interface (PCI information).
So, waht i mean to say, is that here also the unix principle rules, that there are many ways that will produce the needed result, not just "ethtool"
Yes, a few other options were already suggested, but I think the OP said that he needed to get the information about the cable without having the cards configured. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
