Hello all,

I am trying to force the ethernet-card settings on my FC8 machines. One way of doing this is to use the ifcfg-ethX scripts (see http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-add-ethtool-duplex-settings-permanent.html) . This requires that an extra parameter is added to these scripts, namely ETHTOOL_OPTS. My question is now whether it is possible to add this line to the script during installation and (possibly) different for each interface, e.g.:

cobbler system edit --name=foo --interface=eth1 -- mac=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:A1 --ip=x.x.x.x --ethopts="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"

if not, what would be a good way to do this?

thnx

tom

Seeing the network snippets are complex (understatement!) I think that (if it's something folks are interested in), might be a nice parameter to have, that way folks would not have to modify their own Snippets. (Asking users to understand how to tweak the network snippet is a bit much, I think, and it's better that
we do things in ways that save everyone work).

Would someone want to add this?

Adding that parameter on a per-interface basis, defaulting to "", does not seem to be a bad idea to me.

(We'd want this done on the "master" development branch of course, rather than applied to 1.6, since it is a new feature)

Hi Michael,

Been away for a while finishing off a long term project

This feature has been on my personal list for a while.

I'll add this next week, unless someone else is already doing it.

Dave Hatton
