Hi
usage of mii-tool has been deprecated since 2009 at least ( see https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2009-April/msg02053.html )
ethtool is the way to go

but how to activated the network card? Why after to reinstall the system and it's fixed?

Hi
What do you mean with activating the network card ? I use
ip link set dev eth0 up
to "up" an interface.

thanks you reply!
maybe you don't understand this problem. Sorry, my English is so poor!

I mean:
the normal device can display infomation with mii-tool command,like:
# mii-tool
eth0: negotiated 1000baseT-FD flow-control, link ok
eth1: negotiated 1000baseT-FD flow-control, link ok
eth2: negotiated 1000baseT-FD flow-control, link ok
eth3: negotiated 1000baseT-FD flow-control, link ok

if somewhere had errors after, it's will be can't display information with mii-tool command, and have ' no MII interfaces found ', like:


note: this errors, Can only reinstall the system will repair.

I wonder, if don't reinstall the new system, can I fix this problem, how to?

thanks again, it's solved!

but, there is use the OVS for network setup, so must be restart networking first, and restart the openvswitch.
