Add extra driver informations about Wlan and Eth0 in logs for debugging purpose

[mik0git]

Some Wlan or Ethernet linux drivers are known to be buggy. Reporting them in logs could significantly reduce the debugging time, especially for weird connectivity issue.

It can be easily found by following links in /sys/class/net trees:

For example with wlan0 of Raspi :

readlink /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/driver driver -> ../../../../../../../../bus/sdio/drivers/brcmfmac

@mik0git Hi Miko, do you have more information about this? I don't quite understand this request. Is it the location of specific drivers you would like to report, or some aspect of their configuration?

Hi Nigel,

I was thinking about "iw dev wlan0 link" for wlan , and something like ip -s -s link show dev xxxx for Ethernet

regards,

Nicolas
