Hmmm, most (if not all) of those you get using netlink, like so for

Yes, I think you can get everything out of netlink..but I find
the ethtool API much easier to use...

Something we would like to have in the standard kernel?
I'd love to see them in the kernel..I have cooresponding patches
for e100 and e1000 to support these features as well. However,
the e1000 maintainers were not interested last I checked...
Thanks for this patch, I wonder if this should be integrated into
ethtool per default?
Again..I'd love to see it in....
