| |
mii-tool doesn't work with the 8139too.c driver (RTL8139 based network cards). Internally the driver uses phy ID #'s 32+, but when ioctls are used to access the phy registers, the ID is masked down to 0-0x1f, so none of them work properly, and mii-tool fails.
The fix is to change the masking done in the top of netdev_ioctl: if (cmd != SIOCETHTOOL) { /* With SIOCETHTOOL, this would corrupt the pointer. */ data->phy_id &= 0x3f; // was 0x1f (DA) 20021202 data->reg_num &= 0x1f; }
