Get the programs listed below and make sure your media type to make sure
it matches your network and your network card.  You probably want your
media type to be something like: 100baseTx, 100baseTx-FDX, 100baseT4, or
something.

Go here: http://cesdis1.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/diag/
to get mii-diag.c, libmii.c, and vortex-diag.  You can use those to
force different media types for you network card.

This site: http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/
should have all the information you need.
