Correct consistency issues in the ethtool sample application guide:
- Changed "sub-directory" to "subdirectory" for consistency
- Fixed heading capitalization inconsistencies
- Corrected "Ethtool" to "ethtool" where appropriate
- Fixed "call-back" to "callback" (single word)
- Improved sentence structure and readability
