-    tuned_nettool.py: bz 542305 - [abrt] crash detected in tuned-0.2.5-2.fc12
-    
-    Some strange network cards (e.g. Unknown (0x1062)) are not supported
-    by 'ethtool'. The tool reports not very obviously:
-    
-    Cannot get device settings: Operation not permitted
-    Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: Operation not permitted
-    Cannot get link status: Operation not permitted
