Various notes, not all relevant...
- This was found while trying to configure an ethernet card as
"autoneg ON, speed limited to 100mbps or below".
- I was able to achieve my goal by changing the (empty) and ON cases
in the code above by forcing "autoneg on advertise 0x00F".
- I still haven't found who calls this script - said otherwise, I
still don't know how to specify IF_ETHERNET_AUTONEG. Please tell me.
Consequence - I haven't been able to test my proposed fix.
This is documented at
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch05.en.html#_scripting_with_the_ifupdown_system
Specifically, $IF_ETHTOOL_AUTONEG comes from the ethtool-autoneg field
for the interface configuration in /etc/network/interfaces.
And now that I read that, I understand why "google IF_ETHTOOL_AUTONEG"
wasn't helpful. Thanks.
But if you use Network Manager, there is no interface configuration in
that file, so this script won't do anything.
Right. I also submitted https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338881
hoping that one day, it'll get easier.
Bottom line: for my use-case, I'll just keep my modification in the
ethtool script.
Thanks again.
