[Sibyte] sourceforge ethtool utility (from gkernel release) on BCM91480b system

[Gary Smith]

All,

 

I'm using ethtool version 5 on a Broadcom BCM91480b system.  The utility is
not able to communicate with the onboard 1Gbps Ethernet PHYs.  When running
ethtool, the message "No data available" is obtained.  I obtained identical
results when using ethtool with a BCM91250a system.  I'd like to ask if
anyone else has encountered this scenario with ethtool?  If so, do you have
suggestions regarding how ethtool can be used successfully with the Ethernet
PHYs in this system?

 

Thanks,

Gary
