Subject: [PATCH 06/15] doc: correct capitalization and formatting in ethtool guide
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 14:18:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260611212119.1026721-7-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260611212119.1026721-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
Correct consistency issues in the ethtool sample application guide:
- Changed "sub-directory" to "subdirectory" for consistency
- Fixed heading capitalization inconsistencies
- Corrected "Ethtool" to "ethtool" where appropriate
- Fixed "call-back" to "callback" (single word)
- Improved sentence structure and readability
