HP Integrity BL860c Server Blade Linux Installation white paper

b) 'ethtool -s' parameters can be specified in the ifcfg-ethX scripts
using the ETHTOOL_OPTS keyword.
Example: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX:
ETHTOOL_OPTS="wol g speed 100 duplex half autoneg off"
For SuSe Linux
a) Modify /etc/sysconfig/network/config file to have
following options set to 'yes'.
GLOBAL_POST_UP_EXEC="yes"
GLOBAL_PRE_DOWN_EXEC="yes"
b) Create a script file (E.g, ethtool-settings) in
/etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d directory with required ethtool
commands.
E.g, the file can contain the following ethtool command -
/usr/sbin/ethtool -s ethX speed 10
c) Set the mode of the file to 755.
#chmod +755 ethtool-settings
This will ensure that the script is executed each time the interface
is brought up.
The complete set of Module Parameters supported by the tg3 driver
is described in the TG3.TXT which is installed under the
appropriated directories as mentioned in the Introduction section.
Module Parameters can be queried and changed using ethtool.
Driver Messages
===============
The following are the most common sample messages that may be logged in
the file /var/log/messages. Some Linux distributions may not display
messages to the console. To set messages to display on the console, at
the command line use the following to control the level at which
messages will appear on the console.
# dmesg -n 6
Most systems are set to level 6 by default.
Limitations
===========
The current version of the driver has been tested on 2.4.x kernels
starting from 2.4.24 and all 2.6.x kernels. The driver may not compile
on kernels older than 2.4.24. Testing is concentrated on i386 and x86_64
architectures. Only limited testing has been done on some other
architectures.
Minor changes to some source files and Makefile may be needed on some
kernels.
Uninstalling the RPM Package
=============================
The following command will uninstall the tg3 RPM.
