> +  can be enabled via ``CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD_ETHTOOL`` config option.
> +  Existing KNI ethtool implementation is only supported by ``igb`` & ``ixgbe``
> +  drivers, by using a copy of kernel drivers in DPDK. This model can't be extend

s/extend/extended/

> +  to all drivers in DPDK and it is too much effort to maintain kernel modules in DPDK.
> +  As a result users won't be able to use ``ethtool`` via ``igb`` & ``ixgbe`` anymore.
