[SOLVED] [please update] ethtool 4.19 / Kernel 5.4 (pve6.3)
- Thread starter Ramalama
- Start date
PVE does not ship its own ethtool, but uses the one from Debian upstream (which is currently at 4.19)
I don't recall ever running into an issue where a mismatch between ethtool and kernel version caused any breakage (which does not mean that this could happen).
Do you have any issue which is solved by upgrading ethtool to a newer version?

I thinked initially yes and opened this thread too fast.
But in the end, nope, 4.19 works fine.
Tryed to get an 2,5gb/s connection with x550... But didn't readed the driver readme.
In short, i tryed to fix the linkspeed to 2,5gb/s with ethtool, but it doesn't worked xD
Even with a newer ethtool...
But finally readed the ixgbe readme and they mention there, that 2,5gb/s only works through autonegotiation and you can't set that speed with ethtool.
And well it works through autonegotiation and I can't set the linkspeed manually xD
So yes, ethtool 4.19 is perfectly fine xD
Sry for this thread.

glad the issue is fixed!
no need to apologize! as said - I never encountered such a situation - but there probably might be one where an updated version of ethtool would be necessary
