Hi,

I've just purchased some Netgear 1gigabit ethernet cards and to my 
dissapointment mii-tool couldn't be used to query them, even though the linux 
kernel has no issues with using them.

I run cluster software with SL303 which uses mii-tool to do link level 
checking etc... so my question is, which 1gigabit cards work correctly with 
SL303 and mii-tool? so that I get output similar to the following:

[root@anaconda root]# mii-tool
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-HD, link ok
eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-HD, link ok
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth2' failed: Operation not supported

note: eth2 is the Netgear card (which uses a Realtek chip), the other two are 
just standard Realtek PCI cards.

Thanks.

Michael.
