Determining eepro100's negotitated mode

[Andrew M. Kuchling]

I'm trying to figure out if an Intel eepro100 card is coming up in 10-
or 100-baseT, and full or half-duplex.  However, I can't figure out
how to read the output of eepro100-diag or mii-diag to determine the
card's current mode; the Ethernet-HOWTO is silent on this point, and
the CESDIS eepro100 page isn't clear on how to do this.  (If I get an
answer, I'll write up a description for that page.)

./eepro100-diag -fm produces this output:

eepro100-diag.c:v0.07 2/25/98 Donald Becker (becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov)

[root@microscope /tmp]# 

eepro100-diag outputs the capabilities of each side of the link, and
then "Negotiation completed", but never says what the result of the
negotiation was!  So, how do I figure out what mode the card is in?
I'd like to learn how to figure this out...

	On a related note, "mii-diag -A link-type" changes the link
capabilities being advertised; does that actually change the current
setting of the card?  If not, is it possible to change the
transceiver's mode after boot-up, and how is it done?

	(The reason behind all this is that I have a machine that
needs to be put into 100baseT-FD mode; the machine's on the other side
of the country connected to a microscope, so I'm nervous about
modifying the kernel to load the eepro100 driver as a module and
rebooting.  If the networking didn't come up again, it would be highly
annoying to fix the problem by dictating over the phone to on-site
staff.)

	Thanks in advance...
