Router ports don't support EEE
Team,
It looks like the router ports are not supporting EEE (EEE equals power saving).
This is based on the output of "ethtool -show-eee eth0" from a Linux device connected to the router.
The ethtool output states that EEE is not available on the router port.
Linux devices connected to switches show that the switch port has EEE enabled.
Is there anything I can do to enable this capability on the router?

Hi @Clive_A
Mmm - if I look at the overall behavior then it looks as if this router has a number of independent ethernet ports.
Which are bridged together for the LAN side an routed with the WAN side (i.e. the LAN ports are not switching ports).
Meaning forwarding packets between the LAN-ports always requires CPU involvement because of the brutils (or whatever is used).
Makes sense?
Cheers - Will
