Hi Michael
I found a little bug.
When configure in ifcfg-eth* is ONBOOT=no,
the behavior of ethtool command is wrong.
# grep ONBOOT /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
ONBOOT=no
# ethtool eth2 | tail -n1
Link detected: yes
I think "Link detected" should be "no".Why? Sure, there is no IP on the link, but does that mean the link is otherwise unusable? Is ethtool only about IP status? rick jones
