This is documented at https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch05.en.html#_scripting_with_the_ifupdown_system Specifically, $IF_ETHTOOL_AUTONEG comes from the ethtool-autoneg field for the interface configuration in /etc/network/interfaces. But if you use Network Manager, there is no interface configuration in that file, so this script won't do anything. > - I'm still wondering whether I should place my patch somewhere else > (boot sequence? if-pre-up? /etc/network/interfaces (if so, how?)? ) > instead of in the ifup script. Suggestions welcome. You might have to make it an init script. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Experience is directly proportional to the value of equipment destroyed. - Carolyn Scheppner
