load ethtool options on startup

English Network/Internet
#1

Hi there!

I need to set speed and duplex mode of my network adapter manually with ethtool like:

sudo /sbin/ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full

How can I force SUSE to use these settings automatically on startup, so I don’t have to do it by hand every time I restart? Where is the right place/file to add these options?

btw. using openSUSE 11.3

Thanks in advance!

Create the file /etc/init.d/after.local (if it does not allready exist) and put it there. Without the sudo, statements here are run as root at the end of the startup sequence.
