What is the difference between mii-tool and ifconfig ?

March 23rd, 2009 8 comments

mii-tool => only gives information whether the link is up or not, thus
used to see whether our drivers are properly installed and is our network
card detected properly.

ifconfig -> gives information about the ip set to the system, mak address,
gateway etc. also it can used to set the ip address temporarily to the
system like, *ifconfig eth0 *
