What kind of card is eth2? What driver is eth2 using?  Just listing the
modules you've got installed doesn't tell us which module is actually
used for eth2.

Not all cards support MII, since MII is fairly old and isn't really
applicable everywhere.  It's not really "standard", just happens to be
around on a lot of cards.  You would probably get better luck with
ethtool, which is the way of the future, and card/media independent.

What does this give you?

ethtool -i eth2

There's also just 'ethtool eth2' which is probably more what you want.
