# mii-diag -V
mii-diag.c:v2.02 5/21/2001 Donald Becker (becker@scyld.com)

Using the default interface 'eth0'.
Basic registers of MII PHY #0:  3000 282d 0300 e54b 0001 45e1 0001 0000.
 The autonegotiated capability is 0000.
No common media type was autonegotiated!
This is extremely unusual and typically indicates a configuration error.
Perhaps the advertised capability set was intentionally limited.
 Basic mode control register 0x3000: Auto-negotiation enabled.
 You have link beat, and everything is working OK.
 Your link partner advertised 45e1: Flow-control 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx 10baseT-FD 10baseT, w/ 802.3X flow control.
   End of basic transceiver informaion.
