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...

-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.
