Sounds like you need to install python-ethtool (probably add it to your
client channel).  It was omitted from the client repos by mistake, but
is available in http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/0.7/RHEL/5/i386/

We're currently adding it to the client repos and it seems to already be
in the x86_64 one, but not the i386 one.  Hopefully it'll be fixed in
the next day or two.
