ethtool for Debian
------------------

Most settings that can be controlled through ethtool can be specified
in /etc/network/interfaces.  They will then be applied to interfaces
that are brought up automatically at boot time or using the 'ifup'
command.  The following settings are supported:

Link mode (--change):
        link-speed <speed>
        link-duplex half|full

Ethernet settings (--change):
        ethernet-autoneg on|off|<mask>
        ethernet-port <port>
        ethernet-wol <mode> [<pass-key>]

Driver control (--change):
        driver-message-level <level>

Ethernet flow control (--pause):
        ethernet-pause-rx on|off
        ethernet-pause-tx on|off
        ethernet-pause-autoneg on|off

Protocol offload (--offload):
        offload-rx on|off
        offload-tx on|off
        offload-sg on|off
        offload-tso on|off
        offload-ufo on|off
        offload-gso on|off
        offload-lro on|off
        (etc.)

Hardware tuning (--coalesce, --ring):
        hardware-irq-coalesce-adaptive-rx on|off
        hardware-irq-coalesce-adaptive-tx on|off
        hardware-irq-coalesce-rx-usecs <n>
        hardware-irq-coalesce-rx-frames <n>
        (etc.)
        hardware-dma-ring-rx <size>
        hardware-dma-ring-rx-mini <size>
        hardware-dma-ring-rx-jumbo <size>
        hardware-dma-ring-tx <size>

Example:

iface eth0 inet dhcp
        link-speed 100
        link-duplex full
        ethernet-autoneg off
        ethernet-wol s 46:65:62:69:61:6e
