Ethernet technology is designed to transmit data over a channel using wired technology at
            different link speeds. It uses cables to transmit data in network models, such as Local
            Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) for a reliable, secure, and better
            network connectivity.

Ethernet connectivity is integrated into IoT devices and sensors, enabling them to
            transmit data to the network. It is defined under IEEE 802.3 standards and provides a
            standardized interface for these devices to communicate with gateways.

Qualcomm®
            Linux® provides Ethernet features, architecture, and tools that
            enable you to develop Ethernet applications on the Qualcomm® RB3
            Gen 2 Development Kit. Additionally, it offers capabilities to bring up Ethernet
            functionality, configure its features, and enable logging to debug issues.

Note: See [hardware SoCs](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70015-115/soc.html) that are supported
            on Qualcomm Linux.

Note: The Ethernet subsystem is unavailable on QCS9075 currently.
            Ethernet functionality will be added in a future release. Ethernet documentation should
            not be considered accurate for QCS9075 and will be updated in a future release.
