Subject: parsing ethtool output in programs/scripts

Hello,

I wish you would consider adding a switch to ethtool (and the corresponding
functionality) to produce output in machine-readable format.

This would be *extremely* useful.

Why not add the "--machine-readable" switch mentioned here:

and another page which talks about the difficulty of parsing ethtool's output:

cheers,
