[Xen-users] Q: bonding in Dom0: lack of ethtool functionality

["Ulrich Windl" <ulrich.windl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

the "e1000" driver definitely supports ethtool functionality outside of Dom0. 
However, inside of Dom0, the ethtool fails to provide information.

Now when configuring bonding, the bonding driver seems to have some problems 
with 
that lack of functionality:

ifup:     bond0
kernel: bonding: bond0 is being created...
kernel: bonding: bond0: Setting MII monitoring interval to 500.
kernel: bonding: bond0: Setting down delay to 3000.
kernel: bonding: bond0: Setting up delay to 5000.
kernel: bonding: bond0: setting mode to 802.3ad (4).
kernel: bonding: bond0: Setting use_carrier to 1.
ifup:     bond0     enslaving interfaces:  eth0
kernel: bonding: bond0: Warning: failed to get speed and duplex from eth0, 
assumed 
to be 100Mb/sec and Full.
kernel: bonding: bond0: Warning: Operation of 802.3ad mode requires ETHTOOL 
support in base driver for proper aggregator selection.
kernel: bonding: bond0: enslaving eth0 as a backup interface with an up link.
ifup-dhcp: Starting DHCP Client Daemon on bond0...
ifup-dhcp: .
kernel: bonding: bond0: Error: bond_3ad_get_active_agg_info failed
[...]

Do we have to live with that?

Regards,
Ulrich
