edited sosplugin 'networking.py'

Description of problem:

It would be better if the sosreport collects information on the ethernet driver like version, firmware and businfo along with the network/driver statistics for the device. An inclusion of the commands 'ethtool -i' and 'ethtool -S' for the ethernet devices on the machine will not change the sosreport size considerably and also does not need any major changes in the networking plugin for sos.

The edited networking.py plugin will have the following changes :
