Hi,
        For one of my machines, both ethtool and mii-tool don't work. Here
are the error messages:

(mii-tool)
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: invalid argument
.............................................
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth7' failed: invalid argument
no MII interfaces found

(ethtool eth0)
setting for eth0:
no data available

I tried some other parameters and go similar results.

What else can we do to force the speed?
