[PATCH] e1000e: export some settings using ethtool private flags

[Jeff Garzik]

The ethtool private flags interface exists to get/set driver-specific
settings at runtime, in a flexible manner.

Use this facility to export a couple e1000e features, that were
previously only set at module initialization time.

Jeff,

What is the use case for the ethtool private flags? At least I don't see an option in ethtool that would make use of them.

Thanks,
Emil

It is stated in the changelog above :)  It enables feature setting at 
setting, on an easy, per-network-interface basis, that were previously 
only settable at module initialization (ie. load) time.

This is added in a separate patch, since the above patch is the first to 
make use of the private-flags ethtool mechanism.

Can you point me to it? It would really help me with testing.

Thanks,
