Nice idea, but:
sudo mii-tool -v
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported
no MII interfaces found
According to the man page I think this means that my network hardware
does not support MII queries. My MB is an ASUS M3N78-VM.
The manual mentions Marvell Gigabit LAN controller.
lspci -v says:

It should be clear to readers of this that my confusion at these two
statements indicates that I am over my head.
Gone off Googling Marvell Gigabit LAN and MCP78S [GeForce 8200] Ethernet
