ah! FYI apropos mii-tool: quoted from:
http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2003-May/025050.html
mii-tool was written for 10/100 hardware only (hardware with MII phys).
ethtool interface can support all hardware. If you have gigabit, and
mii-tool actually works, consider yourself quite lucky :) In that case
the driver author decided to make an attempt at emulating MII in the
driver. So, using mii-tool on a gigabit NIC is: programming a gigabit
card like a 10/100 hardware interface it doesn't support :)
