whoops, in my last post I forgot to add a -w to mii-diag 

root@space # ./mii-diag -w
Using the default interface 'eth0'.
Basic registers of MII PHY #1:  3100 782d 0302 d008 01e1 0020 0004 2801.
 Basic mode control register 0x3100: Auto-negotiation enabled.
 You have link beat, and everything is working OK.
 Your link partner is generating 10baseT link beat.
03:13:21.25080  Baseline value of MII BMSR (basic mode status register)
is 782d.
