kernel 2.6.0-test2 and mii-tool

[François Chenais]

Hello,

I just have built kernel 2.6.0-test2 from kernel.org sources but I have a problem using mii-tool and alsamixer.

mii-tool says
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported

alsamixer says

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file
or directory

Any idea

TIA François

According to
[url]http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0307.2/0119.html[/url]
it is a problem with Debian's mii-tool, try to get a cvs version
(sorry, don't know where, possibly somewhere at
[url]http://scyld.com/page/support/network/[/url]).

Hmm, are you sure you loaded all the necessary modules for your
particular card?
Perhaps better doublecheck...

HTH,
Flo

Ah, I see. Hm, take a look at
[url]http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=133648[/url]

Possibly a new version including a fix will be released soon.
Otherwise you could try applying the presented patch yourself and
compile the package for your needs, or just bug the maintainer... ;)

Cheers,
Flo
