Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ethtool
PROBLEM:
I am running Ubuntu 8.04 in a Xen DomU.
To fix network performance issues, the line "post-up /usr/sbin/ethtool
-K eth0 tx off" is needed for the virtual ethernet device within the
/etc/network/intefaces file.
Usually this works fine, however if /usr is stored on its own partition
this command fails, as /usr is not yet mounted when udev executes ifup
for the ethernet device.
Unfortunately this causes some very strange errors like
"/etc/init.d/networking stop" to fail bacause the eth0 interface is
brought up but not correctly registered in the state file.
The only workaround at the moment is to disable the ifup / ifdown hooks
in /etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules.
PROPOSED SOLUTION:
The best solution would be moving /usr/sbin/ethtool to /sbin/ethtool so
that it is available on startup before /usr has been mounted.
