[root@mailgate root]# mii-tool -v eth0: 10 Mbit, full duplex, link ok product info: vendor 01:e1:c1, model 56 rev 7 basic mode: isolate, collision test, 10 Mbit, full duplex basic status: autonegotiation restarted, link ok capabilities: advertising: 100baseT4 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD flow-control link partner: 100baseT4 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD flow-control Anything else that would cause that many errors - should I be suspicious of that amount of error? -- Jim Radford "If at first you don't succeed - change the DC"
