nailgun-agent can not grab network interface speed after node discovery

[Dima Herasimenko]

Nailgun agent can't get speed of some type of network interfaces on discovered nodes.
As a fact we don't have any information about network interfaces speed and all related
checks like Fuel UI check in progress of bounding configuration return Warning or Error

@Dima Herasimenko,

Can you please give more detailed steps to reproduce? Currently there is not enough data to reproduce the issue.
Also it would be good to have example of the interface / card where speed is not determined correctly.

Hello @Dmitry Klenov,

here is output of
# lspci | egrep -i --color 'network|ethernet'

Bug affects Emulex Corporation OneConnect 10Gb NIC.

The issue is in rethtool lib which is required by nailgun-agent [ https://github.com/openstack/fuel-nailgun-agent/blob/master/agent#L28 ] .
Exactly in this line [ https://github.com/mpalmer/rethtool/blob/master/lib/rethtool/interface_settings.rb#L101 ] since for some reason Fiber NIC do not return any value in advertised parameter. Below You can find output of regular ethtool:
