Hello. In the previous versions of python-ethtool there is a 9 chars limit for device name. In the newest version, we have a newline between device name and HW address so the limit is useless here. I've created a simple patch. Github PR: https://github.com/fedora-python/python-ethtool/pull/31 Have a nice day. Lumír This looks like a low-priority bug, but it's probably an easy fix engineering-wise. python-ethtool is not on the ACL, so it probably won't get fixed in RHEL 7.5. Let me know if that's a problem. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2018:3039 |
