ethtool - Doesn't display settings
 

When I issue the ethtool command I do not see the settings as expected I only receive the following:

[root ~]# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
Link detected: yes

[root ~]# ethtool -i eth0
driver: pcnet32
version: 1.31
firmware-version:
bus-info: 0000:00:11.0

What I am expecting to see as on other servers is:

[root(OASIS) ~]# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:

Any ideas as to why ??

Thanks

I'd rebuild the config and see if that fixes it. That hex string makes me suspect corruption in the configuration or configuration files.

what config file do you mean ??

does mii-tool provide the info ?

mii-tool -v eth0

[root /]# mii-tool -v eth0
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported
