Is there any kind of test suite (automated or list of tests) available
for testing Linux network drivers?  I'm completing the addition of a few

No, but I would love to someone to write one!!!

What kinds of things do you think should be tested?  What I can think of
in no particular order and certainly not complete:

Simple, standard ping remote host
pings with various crazy large packet sizes
mii-tool
ethtool, all of the various options.  Not all need to be supported
certainly, but there is a set of basic ones that really should be
Changing MTU to various sizes
Configuring VLANs and being able to send/recv traffic

What other types of things should be tested?
