It looks like up through F12, initscripts required ethtool (so it was definately installed by default). I see this in the RPM changelog: * Mon Feb 15 2010 Bill Nottingham <nott...@redhat.com> - 9.05-1 - network-functions: don't use ethtool for link state, assorted other cleanups Of course, there's also this: * Mon Aug 03 2009 Bill Nottingham <nott...@redhat.com> - 8.96-1 - only use ethtool for link checking; no more mii-tool mii-tool gets pulled in by default because initscripts depends on net-tools. However, the mii-tool declares itself obsolete and recommends ethtool. Maybe ethtool should be added to @Base? -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
