Hello,

there doesn't seem to be any flag to request ethtool to present its output in a
script-friendly form.  Things like:
>         Link partner advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
>                                              100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
>                                              1000baseT/Full
are kind of pain to parse.

Something to consider?
