Hello.

Thank you for the issue.

Python-ethtool is not just Python binding for ethtool but it is different implementation. For this reason, we cannot simply add features supported by ethtool to python-ethtool.

Unfortunately, we don't have enough time to add new features to python-ethtool and moreover, we don't have special hardware to test requested features on.

Could you help us?

python-ethtool is maintenance only now. sorry
