That's really a bug in ethtool; it should say not reported. I'll submit a patch. You patch has been merged and it present in the 2.6.34 from unstable. Reassigning, I'll leave it to ethtool maintainers to actually close it. Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#561843: ethtool/mii-tool report incorrect/missing values on Marvell 88E1011
Source: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.32-2 Hi, I get this: # ethtool eth0 |grep -i pause Advertised pause frame use: No Link partner advertised pause frame use: No # ethtool -a eth0 Pause parameters for eth0: Autonegotiate: on RX: on TX: on Those seem to conflict with each other. I assume this is a kernel bug. It also reports: Link partner advertised link modes: Not reported It would be nice that it could report it and that atleast seems to be supported with other cards. As I understand this, this should be supported since a 2.6.31 kernel. It also ways: Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: No Auto-negotiation: on Those also seem to conflict and it really should advertise it. But it might be related to not reporting the link modes and ethtool should show that instead? On the other hand, mii-tool reports this: # mii-tool -v eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok product info: Yukon 88E1011 rev 5 basic mode: autonegotiation enabled basic status: autonegotiation complete, link ok capabilities: 1000baseT-HD 1000baseT-FD 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD advertising: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD flow-control link partner: 1000baseT-HD 1000baseT-FD 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD flow-control The link partner is only a 100 mbit switch, so it shouldn't advertise 1000.

I assume this is a kernel bug. Driver bug. A lot of drivers do not report specific pause frame auto-negotiation flags. It also reports: Link partner advertised link modes: Not reported It would be nice that it could report it and that atleast seems to be supported with other cards. As I understand this, this should be supported since a 2.6.31 kernel. It depends on the driver. I provided patches for the generic MII code but many drivers do not use that and do not yet provide any information about link partner advertising.
