From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Galeon/1.3.13 Description of problem: mii-tool and ethtool always worked fine with 2.4 kernel on FC1 (and before, with old hat linux rh9/rh8/etc...). But mii-tool and ethtool never worked so far with 2.6 kernel (my first 2.6 kernel was a 2.6.0-testX from arjan repository on people.r.c). [root@gruyere ~]# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: No data available zsh: exit 75 ethtool eth0 [root@gruyere ~]# mii-tool eth0: 10 Mbit, half duplex, no link Here is the lspci -vvv describing the NIC : 02:06.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 30) Subsystem: 3Com Corporation 3C905C-TX Fast Etherlink for PC Management NIC Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 (2500ns min, 2500ns max), cache line size 08 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 177 Region 0: I/O ports at a800 [size=128] Region 1: Memory at ee800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0+,D1+,D2+,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=2 PME- The driver is, of course, 3c59x kernel module. It's annoying because network scripts wont launch dhclient if ethtool/mii-tool say there is 'no link'. Once i patched network scripts to ignore this, the NIC, driver, and network scripts worked perfectly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.3-1.118smp How reproducible: Always. With all 2.6 kernels i've tested so far.
