Created attachment 14436 [details] Results of running ethtool in enquiry mode Listing of the output of some of the commands found in the man page.
mga9, x64 $ rpm -q ethtool ethtool-6.3-1.mga9 Ran some status tests and other queries before updating - summary attached. Updated ethtool and ran some of the earlier tests again. I am limiting these to enquiries because there is no telling what damage might occur if settings were changed. This is unknown territory. "netlink error: Operation not supported" was a common output. $ ethtool --get-plca-status enp0s20f0u1 netlink error: Operation not supported $ ethtool --show-eee enp0s20f0u1 EEE settings for enp0s20f0u1: EEE status: enabled - active Tx LPI: disabled Supported EEE link modes: 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised EEE link modes: Not reported Link partner advertised EEE link modes: 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full $ ethtool -T enp0s20f0u1 Time stamping parameters for enp0s20f0u1: Capabilities: software-receive software-system-clock PTP Hardware Clock: none Hardware Transmit Timestamp Modes: none Hardware Receive Filter Modes: none $ ethtool --driver enp0s20f0u1 driver: r8152 version: v1.12.13 firmware-version: rtl8153a-4 v2 02/07/20 expansion-rom-version: bus-info: usb-0000:00:14.0-1 supports-statistics: yes supports-test: no supports-eeprom-access: no supports-register-dump: no supports-priv-flags: no And so on. There appears to be no difference in the results so on that basis ethtool works as expected for queries but making changes has not been tested.
