ethwireck -- check if the wire in the Ethernet port is live

 

History

-------

This code is based on the code form the linuxjournal.com article

about ioctl written by Lisa Corsetti. The original code can be

found at:

ftp://ftp.ssc.com/pub/lj/listings/issue117/README117

and

ftp://ftp.ssc.com/pub/lj/listings/issue117/6908.tgz

 

I have contacted Lisa and she has confirmed to me that the

license of the code is GPL.

 

A bit of research showed that the code is actually based

on either the mii-diag tool from Donald Becker or the

standard linux net-tools package. The code from Lisa uses

the exact same variable names and has many other lines in

commen.

Despite this ethwireck offers really new functionallity which

is as such not available via the net-tools.

 

I have asked Lisa if she wants to maintain the code but

she did not show any interessed. Therefore this code

is now maintained by me.

Difference to mii-tool

----------------------

The functionallity is similar to mii-tool however on my computer

mii-tool will only produce this:

SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported

 

The reasons is that there are a number of incompatible  methods

in the various ethernet drivers and mii-tool supports only

the mii-tool interface.

 

ethwireck supports: ethtool interface, mii-tool and the old mii-tool

interface.
