Hello, there. I noticed a behavior of ethtool 4.8, as used in Debian Stretch, which could be improved: when I query a nonexistent device, ethtool tries to retrieve all its settings, even if the first test returns "No such device". In that case, ethtool should immediatly stop, only saying no such device, and not calling functions which results are already known.
Hoping my remark is not too naive, Regards. -- David Guyot Administrateur système / Sysadmin Europe Camions Interactive / Stockway Moulin Collot F-88500 Ambacourt Tél : +33 (0)3 29 30 47 85
