Running Fedora 10 x86_64 quad-core + 4GB ram
w/4x intel pci-x nics + 2x intel pcie nics

While setting up 1.1.15 and having the following problem
"Keepalived_vrrp: Netlink: error: Cannot assign requested address,
type=(21), seq=1235464558, pid=0" (suggestions welcomed), I figured
I might as well try to recompile the rpm with 1.1.16 since the
changelog seems to suggest it has fixed a problem with bond devices.

The compile ran without errors and the rpm installed nicely.

But after starting up keepalived 1.1.16 I get a new kind of
errors:
Feb 24 10:10:58 firewall2a Keepalived_healthcheckers: SIOCGMIIREG on
eth4 failed: Input/output error
Feb 24 10:10:58 firewall2a Keepalived_healthcheckers: SIOCGMIIREG on
eth4 failed: Input/output error
Feb 24 10:10:58 firewall2a Keepalived_healthcheckers: SIOCGMIIREG on
eth4 failed: Input/output error
Feb 24 10:10:58 firewall2a Keepalived_healthcheckers: SIOCGMIIREG on
eth5 failed: Input/output error
Feb 24 10:10:58 firewall2a Keepalived_healthcheckers: SIOCGMIIREG on
eth5 failed: Input/output error
Feb 24 10:10:58 firewall2a Keepalived_healthcheckers: SIOCGMIIREG on
eth5 failed: Input/output error

These are literally spammed to the logfile.

Now, these error messages are the same ones I get when running mii-tool:
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
eth2: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
eth3: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
SIOCGMIIREG on eth4 failed: Input/output error
eth4: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
SIOCGMIIREG on eth5 failed: Input/output error
eth5: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok

As you can see, the driver for the two pcie cards dont support this.
While I found no definitive info while googling this, this post
does point to the fact that these drivers will likely never support
this outdated feature:

So while I see this is a nice new feature, could you please update it
to use the new api like ethtool does? And is it possible to disable this
feature so that it behaves like 1.1.15?
