Hi,

I am looking in the file hierarchy of dpdk, and I see that under
/dpdk-1.7.1/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/ethtool
we have:
igb  ixgbe  README

My question is: why the igb and ixgbe are on this path, under ethtool
? are they related
to ethtool in any way ?


The README does not explain it.

Regards,
Kevin
