[Bug 777193] [NEW] ethtool settings may not apply on boot with separate /usr

[Mark Russell]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ethtool

Description:  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:  10.04

ethtool:
  Installed: 6+20091202-1
  Candidate: 6+20091202-1

System has ethtool setting in /etc/network/interfaces, in this case:
HARDWARE_DMA_RING_ rx 512

The default setting is 256.  You can check the setting with `ethtool -g
eth0`.

Expected behavior:  on startup (actually on any ifup), /etc/network/if-
up.d/ethtool should run, read /etc/network/interfaces and apply ethtool
settings if they are there.

Observed behavior:  on this system, it's clear that /etc/network/if-
up.d/ethtool is executed before /usr is mounted, therefore the setting
does apply as the ethtool binary is on /usr.  The setting applies fine
if you do an ifdown and ipup manually after startup.

I will attach logs showing what's happening.
