Binary package hint: ethtool

Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04

ethtool:
  Installed: 6+20091202-1
  Candidate: 6+20091202-1

System has ethtool setting in /etc/network/interfaces, in this case:
HARDWARE_DMA_RING_ rx 512

The default setting is 256. You can check the setting with `ethtool -g eth0`.

Expected behavior: on startup (actually on any ifup), /etc/network/if-up.d/ethtool should run, read /etc/network/interfaces and apply ethtool settings if they are there.

Observed behavior: on this system, it's clear that /etc/network/if-up.d/ethtool is executed before /usr is mounted, therefore the setting does apply as the ethtool binary is on /usr. The setting applies fine if you do an ifdown and ipup manually after startup.

I will attach logs showing what's happening.
