2011-04-27Add support for ESP as a separate protocol from AHAlexander Duyck1-3/+5
This change is mostly cosmetic. NIU had supported AH and ESP seperately. As such it is possible that a return value of ESP or AH may be returned for a has request instead of the AH_ESP combined value. To resolve that the inputs are combined for AH and ESP into the AH_ESP value and return values for AH and ESP will display the combined string info.

2011-04-09ethtool: fix manpage so that it will display tables againAlexander Duyck1-7/+7
The current ethtool manpage is not displaying tables. After trying to pass the manpage through tbl I repeatedly saw the error: tbl:ethtool.8.in:707: unrecognised format `x' tbl:ethtool.8.in:707: giving up on this table By dropping the 'x' the errors went away and when I built the manpage the tables reappeared so I am assuming this is the correct approach. [bwh: This format modifier improves table layout in groff 1.20.1, but it's not worth losing backward compatibility.] Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> [bwh: Removed two more 'x' format modifiers] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>
2011-03-23ethtool.8: Fix line-wrapping of optionsBen Hutchings1-100/+108
Several options that take many keyword arguments are now formatted as huge blocks of texts in the synopsis. This is not very readable and it results in a mixture of literal (must be typed) and non-literal (must not be typed) hyphens. Even with hyphenation, full justification can insert extra space that look wrong in commands. There are also minor problems with hyphenation in the detailed descriptiona. Therefore: - Disable full justification and automatic hyphenation in the synopsis - Use the .HP macro (paragraph with hanging indent) in the synopsis for all options that aren't already formatted with the .TP macro - Write all literal hyphens as '\-' so they are not used for line- breaking Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>
2011-03-23ethtool.8: Fix initial blank line/pageBen Hutchings1-1/+3
The .TH macro inserts a page break. There is currently a non-macro line before it, and even though that line is blank this results in a blank line in the terminal and a whole blank page when rendering as Postscript. Use a null macro instead. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

2011-03-23ethtool: remove mask for Auto in advertise sectionEmil Tantilov1-2/+0
The mask for Auto in the advertise section is incorrect for any interface that supports speeds > 1000Mbps. Since the description already states that the mask can be a combination of the supported values it's probably better to just remove it. 'Auto' was misleading anyway.
