ethtool support in mpc8250

[saurabhagarwal]

I have mpc8250 based embedded system that has kernel version 2.6.24. I want to use ethtool or mii-tool in this system. I cross compiled ethtool package for powerpc mpc8250 cpu.

when i use ethtool, I get following error

 ./ethtool -i eth0 Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported 

with mii-tool, I get following error

 ./mii-tool SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported 

Is ethtool or mii-tool suppoerted on mpc8250 ?

If I understand the question properly, the question is more related to ethernet driver you are using than to MPC8250 hardware.

According to Linux kernel version you specified, this does not seem to be Freescale Linux BSP we offer for this MPC8250 device.

Please address this question to your Linux vendor.
