Subject: [ethtool PATCH] ethtool: Can't parse ints with stroul()

From: PJ Waskiewicz <peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@...el.com>

A recent change to how int's were being parsed from the command
line had them being read in with an unsigned int string operator.
This didn't allow signed numbers from being read in correctly.
This patch adds a get_uint() routine, and fixes the get_int()
routine to read in signed values.
