replace ethtool invocation with go packages #317

To get the network interface properties on linux, we invoke the ethtool command. This works, but we can simplify our flow and avoid to depend on a external, not-installed-by-default tool by consuming go packages. We should evaluate this option and change accordingly if we reach consensus.
