What kind of card is it and what driver are you using? Not all drivers support the ioctl's that mii-tool uses. You could try ethtool too.

i m using REALTEK NIC card. previously there was no problem with this NIC with setting 100/10 base speed.

i want to setup 100/10 base speed and getting this error.

Please help me...
