I never did, but many wireless drivers don't support ethtool.  That's a
fact, not conjecture.  For example, the iwl4965 driver (with mac80211,
etc.) for my Intel card doesn't support ethtool or mii-tool:

	[root@golem3 ~]# ethtool wlan0
	Settings for wlan0:
	No data available
	[root@golem3 ~]# mii-tool wlan0
	SIOCGMIIPHY on 'wlan0' failed: Operation not supported
