Thanks for your quick reply!
Your fix brought me to another idea. I was thinking of, instead of
using the ksmeta-vars parameter as you say, to use the bonding-opts
parameter. This parameter you can set for each interface. i guess this
should not make much fuss, as long as you are not using the interface
in bonding mode. By means of some snippet, i can then parse the
parameter and set ETHTOOL_OPTS.
This may however only work when the bonding options are not placed
inside /etc/modprobe,conf but in ifcfg-ethX ("BONDING_OPTS"). The
snippet could then be as simple as just replacing BONDING_OPTS with
ETHTOOL_OPTS. Would you agree with this quick-n-dirty fix?
thanks
