Change #253596

Comments

linux: handle older kernels that require CAP_NET_ADMIN for ETHTOOL_GLINK.
Pre-3.5 kernels (unless the 3.5 fix was backported to a 3.4.x release)
required CAP_NET_ADMIN privilges for some "get some information ethtool
ioctls; if ETHTOOL_GLINK fails with EPERM, don't treat that as an error,
just leave the connection status information as "unknown".

Fix #1604.
