Package: laptop-mode-tools
Version: 1.49-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

When calling laptop_mode like in the /etc/init.d/laptop-mode script, I
get errors from a "test"/"[" call in the shell:

$ /usr/sbin/laptop_mode init auto force

mar...@haktar:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/laptop_mode init auto force
Laptop Mode Tools 1.49
enabled, not active
Swapping out configuration files.
/etc/syslog.conf is a symlink.
Pointing config file /etc/syslog.conf to /etc/syslog.conf-nolm-ac.

Following symlink from /dev/cdrom to /dev/hda.
Polling is already disabled on the given drive.

This might be a duplicate of 535650 but I don't think so: it should be
fixed in 1.49. The error seems to come from this call to ethtool:

mar...@haktar:~$ sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 0
ethtool: bad command line argument(s)
For more information run ethtool -h

This bug might be related to ethtool, but such errors should be handeled
more graciously...
