Violators will be prosecuted for from ; Thu, 12 Dec 2013 08:33:07 -0000 Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: This patch series adds a new option to ethtool to display the adjacent switch port's attributes, as perceived by the NIC, e.g. through respective LLDP message exchanges. A patch for the qeth device driver provides a sample exploiter for the new functionality. Best regards, Stefan Raspl
