You should look-up the driver name (ethtool -i) and then go to a kernel source tree and find that driver under drivers/net/ and see what its ethtool support code looks like. rick jones -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
