Description

This test case ensures that ethtool is functioning properly on Fedora to display and modify network device settings.

Setup

  1. Ensure that you have ethtool installed. If not, install it: sudo dnf install ethtool

How to test

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Identify your primary network interface, e.g., eth0 or enp0s3. You can use ip a to list available interfaces.
  3. Run ethtool <your-interface> to display current settings for the interface.
  4. Check the link status: `ethtool <your-interface>

Expected Results

  1. The command ethtool <your-interface> should display detailed information about the interface, including speed, duplex, and other settings.
  2. The link status should correctly reflect whether the cable is plugged in or not.
  3. If you choose to modify settings, they should be applied correctly, and you should be able to revert them.

Optional

Advanced users can test various ethtool options to modify settings and verify that they're applied correctly. Always ensure you can revert any changes made to avoid network connectivity issues.
