Hi All, In spite of several days of trying to get information out of ethtool source code, I could not get a way to set the loopback mode for network interfaces. I was also referring to the driver code for ixgbe devices to get more info on the support it provides to ethtool. In the driver code, there seems to be a way to set the loopback mode. But I had no idea how to refer to this code from user space.
The SIOCETHTOOL is pretty general purpose. There is a way to test the interface in loopback mode via the command line interface. But I just wanted to set the interface in loopback mode so that I could send packets on the interface myself and stress the interface. Please help me with any suggestion in this regard.
