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-

--set-eee
Sets the device EEE behaviour.
eee on|off
Enables/Disables the device support in EEE.
tx-lpi on|off
