Description Radek Bíba 2008-11-18 13:12:17 UTC
Description of problem:
When an invalid or no option is given or help is required, ethtool gives a usage message which reads:
...
        ethtool -h|--help DEVNAME       Show this help

What? There's no need to specify a DEVNAME when requesting help.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ethtool-5-1.el5
