    Hi,
    in other distros like Mint or Elementary I use /etc/rc.local file to disable EEE on my interface:
            ethtool --set-eee enp0s31f6 eee off
            exit 0

    In Deepin I cannot find this file.

    How can I disable EEE at boot in Deepin?
    This command requires root to work:
    sudo ethtool --set-eee enp0s31f6 eee off

    The ethtool command is provided by a package named ethtool  which you can install on Deepin,too.
    Unluckily Deepin doesn't provide an online package index so I can't find out if it is in the official repositories.
    I found it here for Arch,but that will only help you if you want to compile it yourself:
    https://www.archlinux.de/?page=P ... _64;pkgname=ethtool
    You can simply try "apt-get install ethtool" first,hopefully it is in the repositories.
    If not,you could add Debian repositories if it is in there what I don't know too.

    Thx, but that was something I alredy knew


    The trick was to run the script as a systemd service
    Here is how:
    Make sure your script (I named mine eee_off) is executable and the first line (the shebang) is #!/bin/sh.
    =====================
    #!/bin/sh
    sudo ethtool --set-eee enp0s31f6 eee off
    =====================
    Place the script where you want (in my case it was /usr/bin/)

    Then create the .service file in /etc/systemd/system (a plain text file, let's call it eee_off.service):
    =====================
    [Unit]
    Description=Turn off EEE on interface

    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/eee_off

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    =====================

    Once you're done with the files, enable the service:
    =====================
    systemctl enable eee_off.service
    =====================

    It should start automatically after rebooting the machine. In my case it did.
    You can check it by typing this in terminal: sudo systemctl status eee_off.service
    =====================
