Class: Rethtool::InterfaceSettings

All of the settings of a network interface. Ridiculous amounts of info is available; we only support a subset of them at present.

Create an instance of this class with the interface name as the only parameter, then use the available instance methods to get the info you seek:

   if = Rethtool::InterfaceSettings.new("eth0")
   puts "Current link mode is #{if.current_mode}"
