Description of problem: virtio guest, kvm host: # uname -r 2.6.32-80.el6.x86_64 # ethtool -i eth0 Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported pv guest, xen host: # uname -r 2.6.32-80.el6.x86_64 # ethtool -i eth0 Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported pv on hvm guest (with vif = [ "...,type=netfront" ]), xen host: # uname -r 2.6.32-80.el6.x86_64 # ethtool -i eth0 Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported "ethtool -i" should print the driver name and the bus info. This bug for RHEL6 is similar to bugs 647187/647196 (netfront/virtio_net) for RHEL4 and to bugs 643292/645646 (netfront/virtio_net) for RHEL5. For RHEL6 only a common bug is submitted, because the fix is a commonly effective backport of the following upstream patch ("ethtool.c" part): http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=01414802054c382072b6cb9a1bdc6e243c74b2d5#patch17
