Hi David,
Thanks for the submission. Since this is a bugfix for a long-running
behaviour, I reduced the patch to just the functional changes and
applied it to master, branch-2.6 and branch-2.5.
Here's the final change, please let me know if it is still missing something:

I'm not a C/C++ developer. Well this is very far away from my memory.
I changed the following line:
+ error = netdev_linux_get_ethtool(name, miimon);
to
+ error = netdev_linux_get_ethtool(&name, &miimon);
as it looks like we're sending adresses to functions instead of the
values.
