  1. Attach network interface
ip link set netns `docker inspect --format '{{.State.Pid}}' R1` dev vyos-r1-tmp name eth0 up
ip link set vyos-r1-eth0 up
  1. Enter to the container and configure eth0 interface

I'm seeing the same problem with Xen HVM guests, where the paravirtualized nic-driver "xen_netfront" doesn't seem to support "ethtool -g".. ref T3347

This should now work aswell with the latest vyos 1.3 versions!
