I have had it working with my last 3 laptops. |

Probably what is happening is that the interface needs to be "up" in |
| 9 |
order for mii-tool (or ethtool) to work correctly. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Try adding the following to /etc/conf.d/net: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
postdown() { |
| 14 |
test "${IFACE}" = "eth0" && /sbin/ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up |
| 15 |
return 0 |
| 16 |
} |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
This will make sure that when the interface is brought down by the |
| 19 |
init script, that it is really kept up, but with no address. |

I have this same driver, although I prefer ethtool: |

No, the interface needs to be up for mii stuff to work. |

But as proof that it works: |
