When Maxwell found that the already-measured speed of light could also be derived from the already-measured electric and magnetic constants, what were the electric and magnetic constants measured to be at that time?
Were their values related with the ether?

The constant of magnetic permeability = $1.2566370614… \times 10^{−6} H \times m^{−1}$
The electric constant ≈ $8.854187817620... \times 10^{−12}$
These constants have to do with the resistance of an electric or magnetic field permeating through a classical vacuum.
