Date: 2012-06-05 06:42:55
Subsystem:
the rest · Maintainer:
Linus Torvalds
under Synopsis:
ethtool --get-eee devname
ethtool --set-eee devname [eee on|off] [tx-lpi on|off] [tx-timer N] [advertise N]
under Options:
--get-eee
Queries the specified network device for its support in Efficient Energy Ethernet (ac-
cording to the IEEE 802.3az specifications)
--set-eee
Sets the device EEE behaviour.
eee on|off
Enables/Disables the device support in EEE.
tx-lpi on|off
Determines whether the device should assert its tx lpi.
advertise N
Sets the speeds for which the device would advertise EEE capabliities. Values are as
for --change advertise
tx-timer N
Sets the amount of time the device should stay in idle mode prior to asserting its tx
lpi (in microseconds). This has meaning only when tx lpi is on.
