[nylug-talk] Issues with mii-tool

[Ezra Taylor]

Thanks Peter:
                        This is a production box running Debian Sarge.  The
last time I tried to upgrade mii-tool to ethtool, the system crashed(My
server from home).  I've only been here for three weeks and don't want to
crash anything yet.  Thanks for your advice.
