Using Version 1.8 on CentOS 4.2
Hello i am hopeing this can be implimented
currently ethtool will happily display a lot of
information about auto-negotiation, however there is
one state that seems to be missing that i would find
somewhat useful
the state of the auto-negotiation with regards to if
it sucsesfully auto-negotiated a speed/duplex or that
the other end did not advertise auto-negotiation
this functionality is present in mii-tool but i cannot
seem to see it in ethtool
(example output from mii-tool)
eth2: no link
eth3: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
eth4: no link
and
eth2: no autonegotiation, 100baseTx-HD, link ok
eth3: no autonegotiation, 100baseTx-HD, link ok
eth4: no link
a field of
Auto-negotiated: yes/no
would be most useful
Thanks, Mafoo
