If eth0 is the interesting device and the driver does not support mii then the "not supported" parts is the final answer. It also seems that you have eth1 configured. The driver is not live/connected (no link). Link will go true when a cable is connected... thus the comments about no cable by other posters. So: What device is under your 'eth' devices. New hardware will not have mii calls in their drivers .... Tricks like lspci can help. As a 'user' I see: $ mii-tool SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not permitted ..... SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth7' failed: Operation not permitted no MII interfaces found As root I see: $ sudo mii-tool SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth1' failed: Operation not supported So my eth1 device (MCP78S which is new) does not have driver support for this deprecated interface. -- T o m M i t c h e l l Found me a new hat, now what? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
