Public bug reported:
Some network HW configurations like wake-on-lan, mtu and such are already
exposed.
Certainly not all that ethtool can handle, and none of the attributes that not
even ethtool can handle.
In the System z world there are a few HW attributes that are rather common to
be changed.
In particular:
- layer2 (required to be set correctly for networking to work at all)
- hwchecksumming (performance)
- buffer_count (performance)
Look at chzdev of package s390-tools for more background and how it is
currently done via udev rules.
For s390x - If implemented IBM would have to work with us in a way that the
passing of the ephemeral state netplan provides to a system later on that gets
(re-)configured via chzdev works as expected.
But I guess for now the bug is for the "lower network-HW options" in general
and not only s390x.
