Hello Ueimor,
I succeeded to make the MII ioctls work in the r1000 driver. It seems
to be a solution for my problem.
Thank you a lot, it wouldn't have been possible without your help. You
allowed me to place some debug in the r8169 driver and look at it with
an up interface so I could compare some values.
I will send you my patch for r1000, if it can be of any use for you,
however I don't think I can do it before next week.
Though I continue to send you the interesting informations. See
further.

I'm so sorry I couldn't give you a better dump, ethtool 5 told me
"Unknown Realtek chipset".
FYI: I noticed that ethtool -d eth0 is not supported with the r1000 driver.

Hum... ok I might have enough time to check it, not sure though, I
have a point with my boss this morning.

I'm not the BIOS-master, I'll suggest it.
