Which linux flavour do you use? I am using Suse 9.1 and the man page of mii-tool on it did not have any information on the specific error. Anyways, thanks for your reply.
Debian. You're right though, I just checked the mii-tool man page on an old RH 7.3 box I have at work, and it too does not show the diagnostics. Guess that is why everyone ought to be using Debian! :)
