miit-tool

I use this to check link status on my network cards. But I can't seem to find out which portage pack it's in. The reason I know that it's in portage somewhere is that on one of my gentoo computers it's installed...!

Any way to check where a binary comes from (check which portage pack installed it) or someway to search the files in alle the packages in the portage tree.

Hope someone can help!

First, emerge gentoolkit, then use a qpkg -f <filename> to find out what package the file belongs to.

Good luck,

Don`t know if it`s aim of gentoo distro, but in others like Mandrake or Redhat is mii-tool in net-tools package but not in gentoo. May be it`s bug may be not ...

Thanks for the help, I found the tool in the net-tools package!

qpgk -f /sbin/net-tools worked like a charme!

Now we only need some way to search before you install...

citron - it's there... really...!
