Disabling LACP entity

I was looking in ethernet.c, is it as simple as removing the lines at the bottom:

/* Drag in Ethernet slow protocols */
REQUIRE_OBJECT ( eth_slow );

so that eth_slow isn't dragged in?

The reason I ask is I'm troubleshooting a switch problem with regard to LACP and I want to eliminate iPXE as a problem.

Yes, removing that REQUIRE_OBJECT() line will remove LACP support.

iPXE will never actively send LACP packets; it is only capable of sending LACP packets as responses to packets sent by the switch.
