I'm looking for a way to simulate Hardware failure of Ethernet ports/cards.
For example, simulate low speed, or dissconection, without really causing errors.
My goal is that ifconfig or ethtool will catch those "Errors".
Do you think it's possible?

We're trying to write an automated test , so pulling out the cables is not a good idea for that (: – NogaLavi Aug 31 '14 at 11:32

You can use [`tc`](http://lartc.org/manpages/tc.txt) on Linux to throttle bandwidth and/or cause packet loss. – Sep 10 '14 at 01:21
