This depends on how much support for the MII interface is present in theNIC
driver in use. I have come across drivers that do not implement MIIstatus,
completely and this mii-tool is unable to show you the correct link
regardless of the interface status.
Thus mii-tool's output does not always reflect reality as far as the link
status is concerned.
So i guess the summary will be that none of the tools are perfect :(
