DESCRIPTION
       ethtool is used for querying settings of an ethernet device and chang-
       ing them.
       ethX is the name of the ethernet device to work on.
OPTIONS
       ethtool  with a single argument specifying the device name prints cur-
       rent setting of the specified device.
       -h     shows a short help message.
       -a     queries the  specified  ethernet  device  for  pause  parameter
              information.
       -A     change the pause parameters of the specified ethernet device.
       autoneg on|off
              Specify if pause autonegotiation is enabled.
       rx on|off
              Specify if RX pause is enabled.
       tx on|off
              Specify if TX pause is enabled.
       -c     queries  the  specified ethernet device for coalescing informa-
              tion.
       -C     change  the  coalescing  settings  of  the  specified  ethernet
              device.
       -g     queries  the specified ethernet device for rx/tx ring parameter
              information.
       -G     change the rx/tx ring  parameters  of  the  specified  ethernet
              device.
       rx N   Change number of ring entries for the Rx ring.
       rx-mini N
              Change number of ring entries for the Rx Mini ring.
       rx-jumbo N
              Change number of ring entries for the Rx Jumbo ring.
       tx N   Change number of ring entries for the Tx ring.
       -i     queries  the  specified  ethernet  device for associated driver
              information.
       -d     retrieves and prints a register dump for the specified ethernet
              device.
       -e     retrieves  and prints an EEPROM dump for the specified ethernet
              device. When raw is enabled, then it dumps the raw EEPROM  data
              to  stdout. The length and offset parameters allow dumping cer-
              tain portions of the EEPROM. Default is to dump the entire EEP-
              ROM.
       -E     Changes  EEPROM byte for the specified ethernet device.  offset
              and value specify which byte and it’s new  value.   Because  of
              the  persistent  nature of writing to the EEPROM, a device-spe-
              cific magic key must be specified  to  prevent  the  accidental
              writing to the EEPROM.
       -k     queries the specified ethernet device for offload information.
       -K     change the offload parameters of the specified ethernet device.
       rx on|off
              Specify if RX checksumming is enabled.
       tx on|off
              Specify if TX checksumming is enabled.
       sg on|off
              Specify if scatter-gather is enabled.
       tso on|off
              Specify if tcp segmentation offload is enabled.
       -p     initiates adapter-specific action intended to enable an  opera-
              tor  to  easily  identify the adapter by sight.  typically this
              involves blinking one or more LEDs  on  the  specific  ethernet
              port.
       N      Length of time to perform phys-id, in seconds.
       -r     restarts  auto-negotiation on the specified ethernet device, if
              auto-negotiation is enabled.
       -S     queries the specified ethernet device for NIC- and  driver-spe-
              cific statistics.
       -t     executes  adapter  selftest  on  the specified ethernet device.
              Possible test modes are:
       offline|online
              defines test type: offline (default) means to perform full  set
              of  tests possibly causing normal operation interruption during
              the tests, online means to perform limited set of tests do  not
              interrupting normal adapter operation.
       -s     option  allows  changing  some or all settings of the specified
              ethernet device. All following options only  apply  if  -s  was
              specified.
       speed 10|100|1000
              Set  speed  in Mb/s. ethtool with single argument will show you
              the supported device speeds.
       duplex half|full
              Set full or half duplex mode.
       port tp|aui|bnc|mii
              Select device port.
       autoneg on|off
              Specify if autonegotiation is enabled. In the usual case it is,
              but might cause some problems with some network devices, so you
              can turn it off.
       phyad N
              PHY address.
       xcvr internal|external
              Select transceiver type. Currently only internal  and  external
              can be specified, in the future further types might be added.
       wol p|u|m|b|a|g|s|d...
              Set  Wake-on-LAN  options.   Not all devices support this.  The
              argument to this option is a string  of  characters  specifying
              which options to enable.
              p  Wake on phy activity
              u  Wake on unicast messages
              m  Wake on multicast messages
              b  Wake on broadcast messages
              a  Wake on ARP
              g  Wake on MagicPacket(tm)
              s  Enable SecureOn(tm) password for MagicPacket(tm)
              d  Disable  (wake on nothing).  This option clears all previous
                 options.
       sopass xx:yy:zz:aa:bb:cc
              Set the SecureOn(tm) password.  The  argument  to  this  option
              must be 6 bytes in ethernet MAC hex format (xx:yy:zz:aa:bb:cc).
       msglvl N
              Set the driver message level. Meanings differ per driver.
