It would probably be better to come up with a single concise description
to use in all the various places it's needed: RPMs, debs, web site,
manual page...

 %description
-Ethtool is a small utility to get and set values from your your ethernet 
-controllers.  Not all ethernet drivers support ethtool, but it is getting 
-better.  If your ethernet driver doesn't support it, ask the maintainer to 
-write support - it's not hard!
-
+This utility allows querying and changing settings such as speed,
+port, auto-negotiation, PCI locations and checksum offload on many
+network devices, especially Ethernet devices.

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