Realtek 8139too and mii-tool. Wrong link state.

Hello driver developers.

Sorry, if this was asked before, but grepping through realtek.mbox does
not return any hint.

Description: mii-tool from net-tools-1.60-66( and probably others)
always says, that link is dead in spite of the link is ok or not.
With, for example 3com 905c-tx tornado, mii-tool works fine.

Any ideas why is it so?

And also, can you please give me a hint about meaning of rtl registers,
returned by rtl8139-diag:

since in 0x06c( third quadro-byte in 0x060 line :) ) first bit in 1
means link enabled and accordingly 0 means link is dead.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. please cc me in your answers, since i'm not a subscriber :(
