Xen users - Oct 2006 - ethtool and mii-tool don''t work under xen

Tested on identical hardware (Dell SC1425) with a non-xen kernel, it
wroks fine.  However under Xen, this is what happens:

xen1 ~ #  ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
No data available
xen1 ~ # mii-tool eth0
SIOCGMIIPHY on ''eth0'' failed: Operation not supported


Any ideas?

Thanks,

You''re using the wrong interface. When you start the xend using the
normal config files, your real eth0 gets renamed to phy-eth0 (or so, an
ifconfig -a should tell you). 
I''m using the debian packages with my own config file, so the real eth0
is never renamed and just works fine.
