crush jrhaws # mii-tool
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported
eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth2' failed: Operation not supported
Eth0 is my firewire port. Eth1 is the wired LAN (realtek) connection.
Mii-tool shows that the link is up, but I cannot get an IP address with
dhcp, nor does a static assignment work (using ifconfig or
/etc/conf.d/net). What can I do?
I can't install ethtool since I cannot get online. No wireless networks
are available where I am at.

I think mii-tool will only work with some older drivers, and ethtool is
probably a better bet.
Lets start at the beginning - what is displayed when you run ifconfig
-a?
