As rhpl (as > well as isys.py) only seem to provide methods to query interfaces. The isys stuff is a pretty minimal subset at the moment (and all setting, no querying -- it's basically just what is needed for what the loader can currently do. > I'm interested in writing an ethtool wrapper if I find how to access > and use whatever isys can do from within python. (I'm not a C programmer :/) It doesn't look like the ethtool stuff is bound to python, but that should be trivial. There are lots of examples in isys/isys.c that can largely just be copied from.
