  @Rinzwind probably because ethtool needs root to run. SystemD unit as root is the best approach

  "as sudo" - you mean "as root (the all-powerful user with $UID=0)". sudo is a tool for allowing a regular user to run a command as root. "at boot" - everything involved with system startup runs as root

  @waltinator: except things that drop privileges; e.g. you can have your system start up an X server + user session for a certain user. But running ethtool via sudo from something that had dropped privileges (like the wording of this question suggest) would be a really bad idea vs. sticking it in /etc/rc.local or any more "modern" way to get things run as root during boot.

You can create a systemd service.

Create a file /etc/systemd/system/ethtool.service:

[Unit]
Description=ethtool script

[Service]
ExecStart=/path/to/yourscript.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

And script /path/to/yourscript.sh (don't forget to chmod +x it)

#!/bin/bash
ethtool --offload <net> rx off

Enable your service

systemctl enable ethtool

It will run on boot as root.

Put your commands in /etc/rc.local
or create that file if it does not exist:

 touch /etc/rc.local
 chmod +x /etc/rc.local

All these actions have to be done as root.
