Package: net-tools
Version: 1.60-17
the version of mii-tool referenced below (plus the patch below) provides
support for more mii types, and more importantly, allows it to report
1000baseT link states (which are otherwise misreported as 100baseT).
please upgrade the version in net-tools... thanks!

cool that's bugged me for a while...
there's an off-by-1 for the non-verbose basic output -- you need register
10 but only read up to register 9. patch below.
tested on various mobos with e1000, tg3, skge.
oh, two of my tyans show this (one e1000 one tg3):
product info: vendor 00:08:18, model 25 rev 0
but i'm not physically at the boards so i can't find the PHY to see what
model it is.
