Updated ethtool packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Enhancement
- BZ#1066605
- This update enables the ethtool utility to accept a user-defined Receive-Side Scaling (RSS) hash key value for the Ethernet driver, which improves the performance and security of RSS. As a result, the user can set the RSS hash key value for the Ethernet driver with ethtool.
Users of ethtool are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.
