Whereis ethtool?

[Jitesh Verma]

Hi all,
I have heard a lot about ethtool. It is supposed to be a tool
for ethernet cards. I do not see this tool anywhere in redhat
linux 7.0-7.3. I do not see manpage also. 'whereis' command also
does not show ethtool.
Can sombody tell me where tool is located in redhat linux
directory structure?

Thanks,
Jitesh

$ rpm --redhatprovides /usr/bin/ethtool /usr/sbin/ethtool
error: file /usr/bin/ethtool: No such file or directory
ethtool-1.5-1

Though this isn't really the appropriate list for this
question, I will still answer with a realistic answer.
You should use the which command instead. It's on many
more systems than whereis.

I believe Mike already showed you where it is.

Which only checks the path.

See the difference:

[***@skink incoming]$ which ifconfig
/usr/bin/which: no ifconfig in (/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin/:/usr/local/sbin/:/usr/sbin/:/home/summer/bin:/usr/local/bin/:/usr/local/sbin/:/usr/sbin/)
[***@skink incoming]$ whereis ifconfig
ifconfig: /sbin/ifconfig /usr/share/man/man8/ifconfig.8.gz
[***@skink incoming]$

Ah, so then for completeness, were you going to
mention locate also? LOL :oP

Hi Michael,
I did not find ethtool in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin directory. I did
not find ethtool-1.5-1 as well.
'which' command also does not show it.

Is there any problem with my installation?
Please help.

Regards,
Jitesh

ethtool-1.5-1 is a package name.
Install ethtool-1.5-1.i386.rpm, it's on disc #2.
