Hi Taku!

   Does this have any useful effect?

Thanks,
Rusty.

I often use "ethtool -i" command to check what driver controls the ehternet device.
But because current virtio_net driver doesn't support "ethtool -i", it becomes the
following:

	# ethtool -i eth3
	Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported

My patch simply adds the "ethtool -i" support. The following is the result when
using the virtio_net driver with my patch applied to.

	# ethtool -i eth3
	driver: virtio_net
	version: N/A
	firmware-version: N/A
	bus-info: virtio0

Personally, "-i" is one of the most frequently-used option, and
most network drivers support "ethtool -i", so I think virtio_net also should do.
