Hello,
I have several ubuntu (you can read : there is lots of ubuntu there).
If I start snmpd with uig / gid root, then I get correct speed, if I use uid/gid snmpd then the debug log of snmpd tell me : ethtool failure.
Adding a sticky bit didn't fix that BTW, I have run this thing under root to get this fixed.
Tried with : ubuntu server 7.04, 8,04, 9,04, 10,04, 11,04 and 12.04 (all are LTS). Desktop version has same issue also.
On debian 6.0.7 the correct speed is set too. So the issue is : ubuntu
On FreeBSD, (pfsense, etc..), netscreen, Cisco, we don't have such brain damage.
By the way, loopback if is also set on 10Mbps on ubuntu which is brain damaged too...
If you don't believe, just give a try.
Regards, Xavier
