[RFE] Add some networking related command outputs

[jeditransistor]

NIC related
FEC:
$ ethtool --show-fec
EEE:
$ ethtool --show-eee
ntuple-filters / Flow director:
// Can also use -u
$ ethtool --show-ntuple

For supportconfig ONLY:
$ ethtool --show-coalesce

XPORT
Socket statistics:
$ ss -s
IPv6 statistics:
$ netstat -s -6

Thank you for opening this RFE! Some notes:

• We already capture EEE via:

"ethtool --show-eee %(dev)s",

In the networking.py plugin, so I imagine that that one doesn't need any modification.

• "ethtool --show-fec" - applies to ethernet devices, like --show-eee as well?
• All these 'ethtool' commands need a device name, right?

The last two commands are straightforward to add - we only capture ss -peaonmi at the moment and netstat -s . I'll start with these while we get clarification on the ethtool ones.

The commands (with expected device names, I guess):

ethtool --show-fec %(dev)
ethtool --show-ntuple %(dev)
ethtool --show-coalesce %(dev)

they 1) provide some additional information not already collected by other commands? 2) do not load a kernel module for their execution, and they dont start a service? 3) they can't get stuck their own execution neither get stuck some networking devices under some specific situations (cf. e.g. https://github.com/sosreport/sos/blob/main/sos/report/plugins/networking.py#L188-L195)?

I am the one that have asked this enhancement through RedHat.
1/ You do not need to add: ethtool --show-coalesce %(dev)
This is already collected through ethtool -c %(dev)
This request was for supportconfig (SLES)
2/ Yes you are right you need to provides interface name '%(dev)'
3/ Yes, "ethtool --show-fec" - applies to ethernet devices
