I tested by ./ethtool -E eth0 magic 0x9620 offset 0 length 3 value 0xf1 value 0xf2 value 0xf3
I think ethtool need [ value N ] for each byte (so need three "value xx" in above command line), am I right? Oh, I can see it goes wrong~ Thanks~ * I will go a vacation from now on, this issue will be study later. Any helpful reference implementation data is appreciated.

Try again with 3 bytes and you'll see how it goes wrong. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings To err is human; to really foul things up requires a computer.
