not really. However with plenty of new 10gig hardware going through here we're
currently looking at ethtool support and seeing if it misses anything. If you spot
issues, please Cc me or Jesse and netdev and of course Jeff Garzik so we can get
some patches out.

I just noticed an e1000 specific ethtool issue on there that we'll take a look at
as well.
