Hi Sluggers,
Anyone ever had mii-tool and ethtool tell them different things? As you can
see the duplex setting is being reported differently (this is a Broadcom
Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5706 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02)). Does anyone
know of another method to check the Duplex setting so I can verify which one
is correct?
(btw, I had changed the settings using mii-tool)
# ethtool eth0
