Report invalid/non-existing devices as ENODEV

2014-02-21T15:13:04+00:00

Without this patch py-ethtool will just report with a very
generic system error exception if trying to query a non-existing
network interface.  This patch will change this to report the
error using ENODEV instead.

exceptions: Simplify errno derived exception handling

2014-01-21T18:04:52+00:00

Errnos are missing from some exceptions and in others the code could
be simplified by just using the convenience method PyErr_FromErrno.

fix get_module errno setting.

2014-01-10T19:16:07+00:00

The current code is only setting the errno string but doesn't set
the first argument to the IOError exception, i.e.,  errno.
This patch builds a tuple (errno, strerror(errno)) so that the
Exception has the errno properly set.

cleanup: Rename etherinfo_py and ethtool_etherinfo_Type

2014-01-09T18:50:05+00:00

Use PyEtherInfo and PyEtherInfoType the base names, to more easily see their
relation, and more clearly indicate they are Python objects.

Also remove an initialisation of PyEtherInfo/etherinfo_py not needed any more.

Simplify the ethtool.etherinfo / ethtool_etherinfoType declaration

2013-12-20T01:42:19+00:00

Use a more modern way to set the needed struct members, avoiding
to fill out the blanks manually.

Merge struct etherinfo and etherinfo_py

2013-12-20T01:22:48+00:00

Make things more "pythonic" and avoid another layer of wrapping
by removing the struct etherinfo.  Move that information to the
main Python object instead.

This simplifies the object creation and handling too, as now
all strings are python objects.

Also update some of the documentation blocks along the way.
