There is no "better" tool.  There is no tool, period.  You are
attempting to query a virtual device for an MII interface.  Again, the
MII interface is a piece of SILICON HARDWARE on a NIC.  You simply
cannot query a virtual NIC for hardware parameters.

Now, what I would recommend is that you file a feature request against
mii-tool and ethtool asking that for any query to a bonded virtual NIC
that the physical parameters of each physical NIC be output, along with
the bonding status.  However, given how long bonding has been available,
if the devs were going to do this they'd probably have done it by now.

Maybe someone else wrote a tool with said functionality that superseded
mii-tool and ethtool.  If so I am unaware of it.  Time for you and the
OP to Google.
