I both tried stable and unstable versions of mii-tool. The output of mii-tool -v eth0 here is this: metis benjamin # mii-tool -v eth0 eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok product info: vendor 00:07:32, model 17 rev 2 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 I know that the switch I'm connecting to only supports 100mbits, so this is wrong. ethtool also confirms this: metis benjamin # ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: <-- snip --> Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full I found this bug-report here, but I did not verify whether the proposed patch landed upstream or not. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511395 Cheers Reproducible: Always
Please post your `emerge --info sys-apps/net-tools' output too.
