Subject: [PATCH ethtool] ethtool: Add --disable-netlink to help output
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 10:29:16 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511072916.1895384-1-gal@nvidia.com> (raw)
The --disable-netlink flag is documented in the man page but missing
from the usage output shown by ethtool -h.
Add it to the FLAGS section.
Fixes: 6e3ac505bcc7 ("Add runtime support for disabling netlink")
