| There is a discrepancy between dmesg and mii-tool:

hi,

i have the same exact output. dmesg says 100 mb while mii-tool says 10
mb. is it possible mii-tool only works with specific cards, or is a
"network tool" rather than a "card tool"? i have two d-link nic's using
the rtl8139too driver. according to the other pc, running some other os
(for the kids :-(), it is also running at 100 - which it should - but
doesn't tell my the duplex.
my eth1 is connected to another d-link via a cross-over cable. i thought
using a cross-over cable limited you to half-duplex?
interesting.

take care,
jason
