Was also thinking on that. Reminds me of an internal feature-
request i have to work on of a collegue asking for the flexibility to
explicitly choose the interface-mode like static, dhcp or none.
Havent looked deeper, for now this is done implicitly;
none for bond-slaves, static/dhcp switched by static-boolean.
I think he cant state a valid usecase so i will just push him into
writing a custom snippet doing what he wants.
If many of such interface-based requests/needs come up a free-text
line could be interesting, kind of ksmeta-per-interface.
But right now i cant think of more possible per-interface-settings
so a proper solution for the ethtool parameters would be enough.
