How do I add ethtool-command at boot?

English Install/Boot/Login

Somehow, I do believe this is after upgrading to kernel-3.1.0-46, my NIC has defaulted to 10 Mb/s full duplex, and the connection is very unstable - disappearing for an odd minute now and again. I tried setting it manually through the ethtool-command, turning off auto-negotiation and setting the speed without success.

This does the job though:

ethtool -s eth0 advertise 0x008

But how do I add it at boot? Kind of annoying to su and typing that in every time I start up the computer. Help would be very much appreciated :slight_smile:

Nevermind, figured it out :slight_smile:


su -
echo "/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 advertise 0x008" >> /etc/init.d/after.local

later have the benefit of your solution!!

hopefully all those who google in realize that ethX may need to be some
other number, and . . .
