 $ sudo mii-tool eth1
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth1' failed: Operation not supported
This is the result for my eth1.What does this mean??I have properly connected a cable to my eth1.
Can you forward the link where I can get the Heiko patch?.
I have followed and commented the code  as written in the 
http://bugzilla.xorp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560
But even then I am facing the same problem..underlying VIF is not UP..
Where does the problem lie??Is it with my card(eth1)?

Thanks in advance
Naresh

Thanks. That looks normal, although what I was really looking for was the carrier / link status; I forgot this isn't provided by Linux ifconfig output, and mii-tool is needed instead (it must be run as root, via su or sudo) :-

# mii-tool eth1
eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok

Is a cable connected to this interface when you start XORP?

Are you able to apply and test the patch which Heiko provided?

That looks like it should solve the problem -- I have encountered this MFEA issue before and I believe there is a Bugzilla entry for it already:

thanks,
BMS
