Initial draft of a helper which uses generic elements present in several net drivers to implement ethtool ioctl support in a minimum amount of code.
I have included a sample implementation in the epic100 driver, to illustrate how these helpers may be used. This should make it easier to implement support across 10/100 hardware which uses primarily an MII phy.
Comments appreciated.
Can someone explain to me why we have ethtool and mii-tool? Can we not extend ethtool for the mii-tool stuff, even if only at userland?
