network issues

You can only do this over a telnet session using Linux utilities. ethtool or mii-tool

I installed Ubintu on a PC and installed ethtool and I can query eth0, the problem is that when I telnet to the receiver and apply command ethtool I get command not known error because there are limited commands available in telnet, what should I do to get telnet recognizes ethtool command?

You need to find ethtool for the dreambox or compile it yourself. It's a small binary utility that is installed with Ubuntu but your DB doesn't have it by default. Probbaly if you don't want to compile it then you will have to dig deep in Google. Maybe there si someone on here that will compile it for you, needs to be soemone that works on their PC with DB images as it needs the DB tool chain installing.

Thanks mate, this is too much for me to do. I'll buy a different receiver. I know basic Linux but not progarmming or compiling stuff.
