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
