Their "resolution" is: Update to RHEL 7 to get the more recent ethtool output format.
You should be able to build a newer ethtool from source (or depending on your NIC manufacturer, they may supply a tool with more recent features. Solarflare, for example, provides 'sfctool', basically new ethtool features for old kernels).
I was a bit economical with the situation in full in my original post.
This system is using third-party repo's, i.e. neither Centos / RedHat, although it is clearly based on Centos. The repo's do not have any development tool-chains, so we would have to put together another system, build ethtool on that, create an rpm and then invalidate the third-parties warranty by installing it on the production system.
I think we'll just boot into diagnostic mode and see what we can discern from there.
