Thank you for your reply.

The smc91x driver already has ethtool support.
However, as I stated in my original post, I don't want to use ethtool
from userspace since I need to be able to use a NFS rootfs.

So is there already a programmatic way of using the ethool interface
from the board specific setup code?
Or are you proposing adding a struct ethtool_cmd to smc91x_platdata ?

Another way I can think of is just to add a generic init() callback to
the platform data so that my board specific code can get at the
struct net_device * and then use the ethtool interface via dev->ethtool_ops.

Regards,

Martin
