41.5. Ethernet Parameters

Important
Most modern Ethernet-based network interface cards (NICs), do not require module
parameters to alter settings. Instead, they can be configured using ethtool or mii-
tool. Only after these tools fail to work should module parameters be adjusted. Module
paramaters can be viewed using the modinfo command.
