Subject: [PATCH ethtool 4/4] ethtool.8: Improve description of RX NFC options
Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:55:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1329512132.2822.8.camel@bwh-desktop> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1329512042.2822.4.camel@bwh-desktop>

State explicitly that arguments beginning with 'flow-type' will
insert or update a rule.

Refer consistently to 'flow type' rather than 'network traffic type'.

Refer to 'options and rules', covering both flow hashing and
steering/filtering.

Not speaking for my employer; that's the marketing department's job.
They asked us to note that Solarflare product names are trademarked.
