Hi,

Philippe Reynes sent in a patch [1] to convert the get_settings stuff to the new ethtool link_ksettings api. I've therefore asked Marek (original author of the ethtool stubs) whether the code is still needed for something.

He couldn't remember anything about it. This was therefore a good opportunity to completely get rid of the code - instead of converting not useful code to the new api.

Kind regards, Sven
