Bugzilla Bug 55941

In Linux, you can rename your interfaces with nameif tool. This is a very
useful feature for boxes containing more than one interfaces. But after renamed
an interface ethtool does not accept. Example:

root@medeia> cat /etc/mactab
internet 00:C0:DF:14:22:1F
home 00:01:02:0B:B2:E6

root@medeia> ifconfig home
home      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:01:02:0B:B2:E6
          inet addr:172.16.36.254  Bcast:172.16.36.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

Settings for eth1:
Cannot get device settings: No such device
Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: No such device
Cannot get message level: No such device

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

just added ethtool-3 which seemed to work for me ...

renamed eth1 to 'blah' and then ran `ethtool blah` and it worked
