17
18 ethtool -K tx off

20 Now the question is:
21 what is the 'gentooest' way to put this into /etc/conf.d/net?
22 From reading the example file I would guess a preup() function.

24 Also: is /etc/conf.d/net the place to put in the bridge definitions for
25 the xen guests? If yes, how do I get it to create empty bridges for inter-
26 guest communications?
