Bug#448194: nforce3 CK8S SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth?' failed: Operation not supported

Version: 2.11-2
Package: nictools-pci
Version: 1.3.8-1
Hello
mii-diag mii-tool not working with nforce3 or kernel 2.6.3
SIOCGMIIPHY on eth3 failed: Operation not supported
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth?' failed: Operation not permitted
Most kernels restrict access to root.
I am root!
eth3 is up and working eth3...(nforce)
Just to proof it is generally working:
SIOCGMIIPHY on eth4 failed: Invalid argument
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth?' failed: Invalid argument
If the interface is not running (up), kernel will
refuse to report its link state.
eth4 was down, eth4 (VIA6105)
"via-diag" works flawlessly, even on a down interface!
There seems not to be an equivalent "diag" for nforce?
