mii-tool and bond0

I checked the system logs on my server, eth0 is 1000mbps full duplex,
according to ethtool, it is 1000mbps full duplex, and according to
mii-tool, eth0 is 100mbs.  According to mii-tool, bond0 is 10mb half
duplex.  I am thinking that mii-tool is buggy.

eth-tool does not work with bonded ethernets. The logs entries for bond0
only list the enslaved ports, no mention of speed.
