One Day One GNU/Linux Command
=============================
mii-tool -- Show/Check/Set the MII status.
Summary:
MII (Media Independent Interface) is a standard bus which connects
network interface controllers to physical media interfaces (PHYs).
PHYs are usually located on a network interface card itself, but there
are cards available which have external MII connectors for attaching
external PHYs.
mii-tool display/checks/sets the status of a network interface's MII
unit. Most fast Ethernet adapters use an MII to autonegotiate link
speed and duplex setting.
Examples:
# mii-tool -- Show shot status info about the network card.
# mii-tool -v -- Show detailed status.
# mii-tool -R -- Reset the MII unit to default value.
# mii-tool -r -- Restart the Auto Negotiation.
# mii-tool -w -- Watch the network interface and show if there is any
change in the status.(Run it and remove & reconnect the cable).
# mii-tool -F 10baseT-HD -- Forcibly set the capability to 10Mpbs and
Half Duplex mode.
# mii-tool -A 10baseT-HD, 10baseT-FD -- Enable and restart Auto
Negotiation, and advertise only the specified capabilities.
