Hi there,

Can anybody point me at a document which clarifies the proper method of 
passing ethtool options to the network init scripts in SLES9?  From what 
I can tell setting either the SLES10/OpenSUSE format 'ETHTOOL_OPTIONS' 
or the RedHat format 'ETHTOOL_OPTS' variables in 
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-<mac-address> will not work.  Surely 
this must be possible.

I can of course put a hack of some sort into if-up.d but I'd like to 
know what the proper method is since I need to roll this out to a number 
of servers.  For the record I want to pass the equivalent of 'ethtool -s 
ethN autoneg off speed 100 duplex full' to the interface due to problems 
 with some switches.  Any help is appreciated!

cheers,
Gabriel
