[Bug 462816] New: ethtool needs exactly 3 parameters on startup ( documentation is different)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462816 Summary: ethtool needs exactly 3 parameters on startup (documentation is different) Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: 64bit OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: christian_haegele@web.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer When adding a ETHTOOL_OPTIONS parameter to /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 e.g.ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='autoneg off speed 10' the configuration fails on system boot. It works however when you manually run the ifup script later after boot. If you change the ETHTOOL_OPTIONS to ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='autoneg off speed 10 duplex full' it works fine on system-startup and later on. It seems that ethtool needs all 3 parameters to work properly. Actually that's fine, but the documentation says something different. Especially the docu in the Yast-Module for /etc/sysconfig has exactly the line above, the one that doesn't work, as an example. That will lead to serious missunderstandings. I am not if the bug is that the documentation os wrong or that for some reasons on startup it does not work with less parameters. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please set DEBUG=EXTRA in /etc/sysconfig/network/config first, then reboot and then create the tar archive again.
