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

The code for igb and ixgbe are under that path to allow the kernel net devs
created by the KNI to have ethtool support for manipulating the underlying
NIC.
