Michal Kubecek says: ==================== ethtool netlink interface, part 2 This shorter series adds support for getting and setting of wake-on-lan settings and message mask (originally message level). Together with the code already in net-next, this will allow full implementation of "ethtool <dev>" and "ethtool -s <dev> ...". Older versions of the ethtool netlink series allowed getting WoL settings by unprivileged users and only filtered out the password but this was a source of controversy so for now, ETHTOOL_MSG_WOL_GET request always requires CAP_NET_ADMIN as ETHTOOL_GWOL ioctl request does. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
