I don't think gigabit uses mii anymore. That is to say, mii has no way of reporting speeds above 100baseT, a new standard was made.

Hello Everyone,
While trying to configure my network interface card on my system which runs mandrake 7, I have faced many problems. I used commands like netconf, drakconf, ifconfig etc to configure my NIC but of no use.
There is no output for dmesg|grep eth. Does that mean that mandrake... (2 Replies)

Hi,
We have a 4 port Sun gigaswift NIC card on our sun fire server.
If the card is a physical one I know how to check the settings/speed. But since this is a virtual card with 4 ports , I am not sure as how we can check the settings.

DESCRIPTION
Media Independent Interface is an IEEE standard serial bus for connecting MACs (network controllers) to PHYs (physical media interfaces).
The mii layer allows network device drivers to share support code for various PHY models, and allows unused support for PHYs which are not
present in a system to be removed from the kernel.
Network device drivers which use the mii layer carry the ``mii'' autoconfiguration attribute. This allows kernel configuration files to sim-
ply specify PHYs as described above in the synopsis.
The following is an example of the messages displayed when a network interface with an attached PHY is detected by the kernel:
epic0 at pci0 dev 12 function 0: SMC EPIC/100 Fast Ethernet
epic0: interrupting at kn20aa irq 4
epic0: SMC9432TX, Ethernet address 00:e0:29:07:17:c4
qsphy0 at epic0 phy 3: QS6612 10/100 media interface, rev. 1
qsphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
All PHY drivers display the media types supported by the PHY when it is detected by the kernel. These media types are valid media keywords
for use with the ifconfig(8) program.
