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?

how about `ethtool ethX` ? It doesn't report what happened during negotiotion
but it shows status and advertised/autonegotiated/supported modes

well now don't i feel dumb, i didn't even try running it without an 
option.  yes must be the lack of caffeine.  thanks.
