I think you're assuming that since mii-tool doesn't bomb out when
specifying a virtual NIC, but actually shows some data on link speed and
duplex, that it _should_ give an error for those instead. If it bombed
out instead, what would you be saying? You'd be saying what I have:
It's not designed to work with virtual NICs.
Write the developers and ask them to make the next version bomb with
virtual NICs, which is what it should do.
