Synopsis
ethtool bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated ethtool packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
Ethtool is a utility that allows querying and changing settings such as speed,
port, autonegotiation, PCI locations and checksum offload on many
network devices, especially of ethernet devices.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, the ethtool utility did not correctly communicate with the network
device driver when attempting to set LRO (Large Receive Offload) options.
Consequently, it was not possible to set the LRO options on devices supporting
LRO. With this update, ethtool has been fixed to communicate correctly with the
device driver, and the LRO options can now be set on network devices.
(BZ#1038955).
- Due to a change to the ixgbe driver, the "ethtool -d" command in non-raw mode
stopped providing output. As a consequence, "ethtool -d" could not be used to
examine the state of ixgbe devices. To fix this bug, ethool has been changed to
work with the new ixgbe device driver, and the "ethtool -d" command on ixgbe
devices in non-raw mode can now be used again. (BZ#1038956)
Users of ethtool are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
