Netboot installation of what? Ubuntu server?

So this isn't (necessarily) about the netboot installer (or any
installer) environment, but that in all *installed* environments
(presumably server/cloud only), ethtool is available. Is that
accurate?

And then there is a secondary request for adding it to the installer
environment itself.
