The mii-tool utility seems to be abandoned and unmaintained?

Here is a version that does standard 1000baseT support.

Not really.  I would rather leave it as-is, and deprecate it in favor of
ethtool.

is there some ethtool (version 5) option i'm missing that will give a nice 
concise link negotation state report like mii-tool does?

on e1000 it seems i can find this info only via the -d option, which dumps 
a lot of other info.

on skge -d doesn't seem to dump the negotiation state.

Not possible because the PHY registers are accessed indirectly.

on tg3 -d doesn't even interpret the registers...

maybe it's just that i haven't had caffeine but i think i've tried every 
reporting option i can find on the man page and can't find link 
negotiation state.
