- 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
-
- 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

- ethernet-autoneg off
- ethernet-wol s 46:65:62:69:61:6e
